What is Parenting Coordination?
Parenting coordination is a nonlitigation-based dispute resolution process that is court-ordered or agreed on by divorced or separated parents who have an ongoing pattern of high conflict or litigation regarding their children. It is a technique most often utilized by parents who care deeply about their children but have demonstrated an inability to resolve their child-related disputes through other processes such as court, mediation, initial settlement conferences or custody evaluations. The collaborative nature of parenting coordination is often the change that is needed to stay out of court. Contact us to discuss your options today.
