I can’t answer directly but have seen some instances with a family member, and a stranger.
Family member: stayed friends and once in a while them and their spouse have dinner with the ex.
Strangers: i saw a family at the doctors office. Daughter and Mom and Step Dad, then Biological Dad showed up. They all got on really well, and the StepDad and Dad talked about getting together for some BBQ Salmon and beer one day.
Some seem to show a lot of grace, in what could have been awkward dynamics

I think in a situation with a child, the adults have a responsibility to be civil about it for the kid’s sake
They do. But I have seen a lot of nasty divorced couples, that made me realize most adults are still kids. 🙁
