Christina McGhee

Christina McGhee, MSW, is an internationally recognized divorce parenting expert, speaker, and author.

While splitting up is undeniably hard, Christina believes divorce doesn't have to equal devastation for families. She feels with the right kind of information and support parents can be a child's absolute best resource when families change.

Throughout her career, she has educated parents and professionals on how to minimize the impact of divorce on children. In her book, PARENTING APART: How separated and divorced parents can raise happy and secure kids, Christina offers parents practical strategies for dealing with the "real-life" everyday challenges of co-parenting.

One of her core beliefs is that divorce doesn't make you a bad parent. It makes you a parent going through a bad time. Because she is passionate about helping parents get through that bad time, Christina maintains an active coaching practice that allows her to work with Moms and Dads all over the world.

She is also the creator and lead trainer for the multidisciplinary Co-Parenting Specialist Training Program that teaches divorce professionals how to positively leverage their influence and guide parents using a child-centered approach.

Because Christina believes that quality resources are needed, she has contributed to several other media projects as a featured expert, a content consultant, and a writer/producer. Currently, Christina serves as the Education and Training Director for the SPLIT Outreach Project, a non-profit organization that produced SPLIT: The EARLY Years and SPLIT UP: The TEEN Years. These two compelling films let kids know they're not alone and normalize the many feelings and experiences children and teens encounter when parents part.

Over the years, she has been featured on television, radio, podcasts, and in print around the US and abroad. A few places you may have seen her are TODAY Parents, the BBC, The Times, and Parents Magazine.
