1. S3.E7. Romance and Co-Parenting: It’s Complicated! Diane Dierks & Rick Voyles 32:27

Eva emails the show and asks how to move forward with the love of her life and maintain both of their children’s school and activity schedules. The issue is, they live 90 minutes apart from one another. In order to move in together, they either must get their co-parents to agree to a custody change or put their dreams on hold. Diane & Rick discuss the importance of prioritizing children’s needs even if that means putting personal desires aside for a time.
