Not necessarily, whether you regard your ex as friend or foe, the idea is to live at peace with them.
Romans 12:18
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Proverbs 16:7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh
even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Romans 12:18

even his enemies to be at peace with him.
the best way to raise your children is to be allies, the kids will benifit the most. But it doesnt mean you have to be a doormat. Boundaries should be established. But truthfully no staying friends isnt the only way. If you have court ordered documents that entitle you to specific times and dates. You dont have be friends

-->This varies by country, I can only speak from the US perspective.
False
1) Custody & visitation agreements are set up by the courts and dictate a Minimum amount of time for the non-custodial parent to have Legal Right to spend with their kid(s) and any conditions/restrictions on that.
2) I am the custodial parent, so if this were true I'd still get to see my kids and would never have to speak to my ex again.
3) It's totally scary that the legal system has the following term as part of its vocabulary: "non-custodial parental kidnapping."
4) There are other Legit options, I'm sure.
Let me add, however, that the better the parents can get along afterwards, the better off the kids are.
...unless maybe one of the parents should be in jail, or similarly confined by the state.

I'd definitely bear in mind 1 Corinthians 7:15&16 Here it is from the Message, I underlined the part that I find to be both critical, and at times difficult:
15-16 On the other hand, if the unbelieving spouse walks out, you've got to let him or her go. You don’t have to hold on desperately. God has called us to make the best of it, as peacefully as we can. You never know, wife: The way you handle this might bring your husband not only back to you but to God. You never know, husband: The way you handle this might bring your wife not only back to you but to God.

False. My ex and I tried but after several months it was clear to me it just wasn't going to happen. She still tries, but it's just not there. We talk and see each other only when we have to, and we are not disrespectful of each other. That's about as close as we come to being friends.
