A parent coordinator is a neutral third party appointed by the court to assist divorced or separated parents in resolving disputes related to co-parenting and child-rearing issues.
Role and responsibilities: The parent coordinator acts as a mediator and facilitator, helping parents communicate effectively, make decisions in the best interest of their children, and implement parenting plans or court orders.
Benefits of parent coordination: By providing guidance and support, parent coordinators can help reduce conflict, minimize the need for court intervention, and promote healthy co-parenting relationships for the well-being of the children involved.
Legal authority: While parent coordinators may have decision-making authority on certain issues as outlined in court orders or parenting plans, their role is generally advisory, and their recommendations are non-binding.
Getting support: If you’re navigating co-parenting challenges, consider working with a parent coordinator to help facilitate communication, resolve disputes, and promote cooperation for the sake of your children.
Parent coordination can be a valuable resource for families going through divorce or separation. Reach out to legal professionals or family counselors to learn more about how parent coordination can benefit your family.
