Co-parenting in Los Angeles can be difficult. It means that every time you step outside with your kid and your ex, the cameras are flashing. The press is constantly hounding you for quotes and digging up as much muck as they can find — or sometimes even just making it up — about you and your ex. And it also means that the kids can sometimes end up in awkward situations.
