Do : Do you plan to use the response for custody purposes? I always wonder, because invariably there will some variability between the information provided by each parent. While, not ideal, what needs to be balanced into the equation is if your toddler's mother is consistent with him; if she takes care of his needs and if she is able to show him love. When a child's parents aren't together; often the situation isn't ideal; but people do the best they can. If you believe that your child's situation isn't ideal; are there things you can think of to help his mother with a solution?

When parents are: Separated, each can control only what goes on in his/her own home. Other than increasing financial support to mom ; child for their own home and nurturing child-care, there is little you can do, unless you observe signs of reportable child abuse or neglect. Chronic parental conflict can cause post-divorce emotional child abuse at any age. Co-parenting classes can help prevent or remediate this.
