A  Parenting Coordinator helps parents in contentious divorce cases develop and implement a parenting plan that meets the needs of their children in the best way possible.  

There are many ways to "put children first."   One of the most important is to keep them out of the disagreements between former spouses.  You do not have to go to court to resolve every disagreement about the children.   A mediator working in the specialized area of parent coordination makes it possible for former spouses to discuss the issues between them and help parents discover solutions to issues regarding holidays, birthdays, choosing schools, summer activities, etc.

Parent coordinators may also meet with children to more effectively facilitate a conversation about issues within the family and help them discover solutions to these issues.

A parent coordinator can be especially helpful for former spouses who have gone through a contentious, litigated divorce and discovered that they did not like the animosity and public environment of their experience in court.

A parent coordinator is not:

     a family couselor;

     a guardian ad litem;

     a therapist.

A parent coordinator can:

     help former spouses avoid the use of contempt actions and repeat court appearances;

     work with families to discuss their issues in a private and respectful environment;

     meet with former spouses to renew parenting schedules as needed;

     bring children into the conversation as participants, not pawns.
