Abstract
Whenever two people are raising a child together, co-parenting or some parallel of co-parenting is likely happening. Co-parenting involves collaboration and is a process rather than a category. Parents engage in co-parenting differently based on many factors. Co-parenting, or a version of it, is occurring in Black communities, although the term may not fit with cultural values and experiences.
