How a Parenting Coordinator Can Help Families
Parenting Coordinators (PCs) are professionally trained practitioners who work with separated or divorced parents to help them adhere to court orders and implement parenting agreements. Divorce or separation is often a difficult and stressful period for families, sometimes leading to a sense of conflict. Parenting Coordinators work separated parents to develop effective strategies for dealing with this conflict so that they can uphold court orders and parenting agreements in the long-term, without the stress that daily conflict can bring. Parenting Coordinators also help parents to make co-parenting and education decisions, helping them to avoid exposing their child to conflict and assist them in protecting a long term and healthy relationship with their child or children. Ultimately, Parenting Coordinators approach their role with a strong child focus, ensuring optimal outcomes for your children following family separation. Parenting coordination costs are shared equally between the parents and coordinators are available at short notice to help resolve child-related disputes that may arise between separated parents from time to time.
