For co-parents who find themselves in continuing conflict after divorce or separation, a Parenting Coordinator (PC) is like a communication coach, a mediator, an educator and a referee, all rolled into one. With the permission of the parties, a family court judge can appoint me to assist divorced couples to manage conflict outside of the courtroom. Parenting Coordination is an economical alternative to chronic litigation, and serves to minimize the impact of co-parent conflict on children. As a PC, I can help you to work through differing interpretations of your parenting plan, and limit opportunities for further conflict. Common concerns include vacation and holiday planning, religious observance, school choice, afterschool activities, and new partners.
