Parenting Coordination is a service provided to parents who are heading into separation and divorce, or who have already completed the divorce process. This service is focused on helping parents communicate effectively, follow their Parenting Plans and make healthy decisions about their children. Parents may be referred by attorneys, therapists, custody evaluators or judges. Some parents are court ordered to attend parent coordination sessions due to the intensity of the conflict and animosity between them. Some parents learn about parent coordination and voluntarily seek this service to help them work through a particularly difficult issue which they cannot resolve alone.
As a Parenting Coordinator, I focus on helping parents make child-focused decisions together versus taking their disagreements to court. My focus is on building communication and decision making skills for the parents so that they can more peacefully co-parent their children.
I have also helped many parents develop parenting plans. Parenting plans can include agreements about the weekly parenting schedule, holidays, summers and any other issue that is relevant to a particular family. I recognize that each family is unique and will work closely with you to develop a plan that suites your particular needs.
