["Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThis study examines how children living in two homes position themselves in relation to their divorced parents' low or moderate level everyday conflicts and what kinds of micropractices they adopt to manage these situations. The data consist of interviews and written accounts from 14 Finnish participants aged 8–33, all of whom have childhood experience of living in two homes after parental separation. Four forms of positioning in relation to parental conflicts are identified: active outside, passive outside, involuntary amid and active balancing amid. The findings show that children actively negotiate their positioning and adopt various micropractices, involving moral reasoning, to cope with parental conflicts. The study shifts attention from parental cooperation or custody arrangements to children's everyday moral and practical work. The study also emphasises the need for child‐centred approaches to better support divorcing parents and their children.\n"]
