Parenting Coordinator
Sometimes parties involved in a high-conflict custody dispute can benefit from the involvement of a certified Parenting Coordinator (PC). A PC is an impartial professional who helps separated and divorced parents improve their communication and problem-solving skills as they relate to raising their children. PCs are appointed by the court and are given certain powers and responsibilities. Your case may benefit from the involvement of a PC if any of the following are occurring:
· Excessive litigation
· Significant anger and distrust between the parties
· Particular difficultly related to communication and custody of the child(ren)
· Verbal abuse or physical aggression
A PC can help parents resolve disputes without the continual need to return to court, reducing expenses to both parents and reducing the negative impact continued conflict has upon the child(ren).
