How do you handle communication when things are still raw?

The divorce is only 3 months finalized and my ex and I can barely talk without things getting heated. She sends me passive aggressive texts about money and the kids. I try to keep it professional but it's hard when she's making digs at me. Our lawyer said we should use a co-parenting app but honestly we haven't set that up yet. Any tips for keeping this civil when you still have a lot of anger towards the other person?

Those passive aggressive texts are brutal. I found that only responding to factual stuff about the kids helped me - money, schedule, anything else just gets ignored. Sounds harsh but it saved my sanity early on.

Three months is still fresh, man. I had to set up a co-parenting app just to keep things neutral - no room for tone when it's all text about logistics. Took some pressure off trying to communicate the 'right way' when we were both still hurting.
