What does a Parenting Coordinator Do?
We are the bridge between the struggle of parents who are trying to coparent.  We are able to help you to make decisions without continual back and forth which has stymied your attempts previously.
Key Responsibilities and Scope
  • Conflict Resolution & Mediation: Acting as a mediator to resolve day-to-day disputes, such as scheduling, school, or medical decisions, often when parents are unable to agree on their own.
  • Implementation of Parenting Plans: Assisting in the interpretation and enforcement of existing custody orders or agreements.
  • Decision-Making Authority: Depending on the court order, a parenting coordinator may be authorized to make binding recommendations or decisions for the parents.
  • Education: Teaching co-parenting skills, educating parents on child development, and improving communication techniques.
  • Limitations: Parenting coordinators cannot typically change legal custody status or make major modifications to the overall time-sharing plan, and they do not act as therapist, attorney, or evaluator
  • Who Needs a Coordinator?
    • Parents who cannot communicate without anger or aggression
    • Parents who find coming to a resolution difficult
    • Parents who need someone to assist them in making difficult decisions for their children, but do not want the expense of going back to court
    • Parents who want to remain child centric in their approach to coparenting 
    • Those who have tried all the "Court" things and still are not succeeding
Is a Coordinator Just another cost?
No, A coordinator is not just another cost.  I am here to assist you and your ex to gain positive skills.  My goal and purpose is to teach both of you how to communicate better and how to decision make.  I work with you to create parenting plans or adjust the plans you have.  I also work with you both the ensure that whatever the plan you have it you would be able to make changes as needed without having to seek the assistance of anyone else.  That is effort and it takes time.  If you are going to learn then you have to practice and you practice with someone who has the skillset to teach.  You cannot learn a language from someone who does not speak it themselves.  As a family attorney, I speak the language and I can guide you and your ex in a manner which creates space for you both to feel heard and accepted.
