Coparenting can be define as the articulation of parenting roles and the sharing responsibilities about a child. The main objective of this study was to develop an investigation about the coparental relationship. A qualitative analysis was carried out through semi-structured interviews with four men and four women. They were married, parents to at least one two-year-old to six-year-old child and belonged to segments of the middle class population of Rio de Janeiro. The interviews were analyzed through the content analysis method proposed by Bardin (2011) and from the subjects speech, six categories emerged: A more present father, Division of tasks and children s care, Resemblances and differences in raising practices, Conflict solving, Family of origin influence and coparental support. It s possible to notice the involvement of both parents on the childrearing tasks as a common practice. Coparental conflicts are seen as harmful to parent s authority and to children s development, being avoided by couples. There is an idealized search for a coparental relationship free of conflicts and differences.
