Parenting Coordinator

This service is for parents who have a high degree of conflict during or after the divorce and/or frequent litigation about parenting their children. The Parenting Coordinator is often appointed by the Court to assist parents in making decisions to implement the parenting plan and court orders. The Parenting Coordinator:

• Works with the parents to reduce the exposure of the children to damaging parental conflict.
• Facilitates timely decision making so that conflicts do not go on too long.
• Works to resolve conflicts outside the Court process.
• Promotes environment that fosters children’s healthy development.

Parenting Coordinators meet with parents separately and together, with the children and (with parental consent) others who are involved with the children, as this is needed to resolve conflicts, such as extended family, teachers and family doctors.
