33、 they are far from sworn enemies.Theyre among a fast-growing number of divorced moms and dads who spend holidays together so the kids dont have to choose between parents or shuttle back and forth.In a dramatic change from the traditional bitterness ofdivorce,many parted parents are doing their best
34、to be cordial,even wann,especially on the most important days of the year.Divorce is part of the lifestyle in 50 percent of families,says Andrew Shepard,director ofthe Center for Children,Families and the Law at Hofstra Law School and one of the countrys leading divorce researchers.Americans have co
35、me to view divorce as a natural experience.With mediation instead oflitigation now available or required in 37 states,more couples than ever are splitting up without acrimony.Its a sea change,say Raoul Felder,a New York divorce attorney who took part in many ofthe most high-profile and nasty breakup
36、s of the 1980s and 1990s.In the past,says Felder,divorce was about anger and revenge.Now,he says,a divorce is more likely to involve appraisers than private investigations.In 1969,California Gov.Ronald Reagan signed the nations first law permitting no-fault divorce.No-fault-which allows parents to s
37、plit up without having to declare war-has become the norm rather than the exception.Mediation has also been on the rise:13 states require it for divorce involving children,and 24 othere allow judges to order it in almost any case they see fit,according to Hofstras Schepard,who notes that exceptions
38、are made in cases ofdomestic violence.Divorce lawyers are also encouraging more cooperation,and some specialize in collaborative divorce,an arrangement where parties agree in advance to treat each other respectfully and resolve disputes without going to court.Jurisdictions in 40 states even require
39、new divorces to undergo a four-hour education course on co-parenting.Plenty ofparents already know firsthand whats at stake for their kids,especially Gen-Xers,who grew up in a society where one out of every two marriages ended in divorce.They remember the restraining orders and midnight screaming ma

41、in the confines ofour home.I just didnt want to repeat that.When Thomas and his wife,Pam,faced their own divorce,they asked a mediator to arrange a parenting schedule for their son,Alek,10,and they now co-host his birthday parties.Another big change is the greater role played by todays dads in the r
42、aising of their kids.Fathers who share in the parenting during marriage expect nothing less after divorce.Although researchers like Ahrons have known for years that how parents divorce matters even more than the divorce itself,some parents still have trouble not putting their children in the middle
43、ofthe conflict.Even when parents set aside their negative emotions to give their children a happy holiday,it isnt always easy.The Illst time Sharyl Jupe hosted Thanksgiving.dinner for(deep breath here)her ex-husband Larry Ford,their two teenage children,Larrys wife Jann Blackstone Ford,Janns daughte

45、Jann had a hard time,feeling awkward and a little left out.Its not that I thought they were going to run off together,Jann says,but theres a lot of history there.Within half an hour,however,the kids were so animated and cheerful that all the tension melted away.They were laughing,they were happy,say
46、s Sharyl,They didnt have to run out the door and worry that another parent would be angry that they were late.Jann and Larry relaxed,too.Kids dont have the issues parents have.says Larry.They just know that they love everybody.Eventually,Sharyl and Jann not only learned to get along but became close
