What do divorced parents fight about?

Those Kids Are Mine!

A common occurrence in high conflict divorces is for one parent to feel "entitled" to the children. The entitlement may even be based on sound information, such as the other parent not paying child support consistently. The reality, however, is that the children belong to both parents, regardless of any other fact. That includes situations where the other parent appears to be a loser. No one "owns" children, therefore, neither parent is "entitled" to them.
