Parenting coordination after separation

A good parenting agreement is a beginning. But life with children is full of small details: a new class, a holiday, a schedule change. When communication between parents is strained, every small decision can become a dispute.

What a parenting coordinator does

A parenting coordinator is a professional who helps parents put their parenting arrangements into practice day to day. They support the parents over a period of time, help settle disagreements before they escalate and teach new ways to communicate.

• Help resolving everyday disagreements
• Clear rules for communication between the parents
• Keeping the children's wellbeing as the main consideration
• Less need to go back to court

Who it suits

Parenting coordination especially suits parents who find it hard to communicate after separating, where their disagreements affect the children. Sometimes the court recommends it, and sometimes parents choose it themselves.
