Parenting Coordination has become an essential part of helping separating and divorcing families in conflict.  Involvement generally begins after a Parenting Plan has been put in place through either litigation or mediation, yet clients have had great success in negotiating well with the assistance of a PC while litigating children's issues. Parenting Coordinator’s assist the parents in keeping the best interests of the children  paramount throughout, whichever avenue you have chosen to resolve your matter.

 The Parenting Coordinator can:

• Assist the parents to maintain an existing court order;
• Assist through your legal negotiations of a Parenting Plan
• Recommend and/or negotiate with the parents changes to the shared parenting plan that do not involve major changes;
• Educate the parents about child development and appropriate choices for their children;
• Assist the parents in communication with each other about the children;
• Reduce court involvement and cost.

I am often asked who I work for as a Parenting Coordinator, especially in circumstances where one parent may be paying a higher percentage of my fee, based on their income. 

As a Parenting Coordinator I work on behalf of the children, paid for by the parents.
