    Main Results:

    • Women initiating divorce showed significant changes in their roles, linked to marital dissatisfaction.
    • Mothers perceived the co-parental relationship as variably supportive and conflictual.
    • Fathers viewed the co-parental relationship as helpful primarily when conflict-free.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental gender role shifts are evident during divorce, particularly among women.
    • Differing perceptions of the co-parental relationship exist between mothers and fathers.
    • Enhanced communication in co-parenting appears linked to changes in traditional gender roles post-divorce.
