Sessions 5 & 13: Effective Use of Parenting Coordination
Parenting coordinators (PCs) are neutral professionals whose role it is to manage conflict between parents and assist with resolving issues that might arise outside of court in the best interest of the parties’ children. There are many variations associated with parenting coordination across jurisdictions, ranging from whether the intervention is confidential, whether a PC is able to make recommendations or holds quasi-judicial authority, and even regarding who can be a PC. Some jurisdictions are without laws, rules or regulations regarding PC work entirely. Regardless of the nuances of local practice, effective use of a parenting coordinator can support the attorneys with case management and support the family with conflict resolution skills to limit post-judgement litigation. Join the presenters for a lively discussion on ways to maximize the benefits of a parenting coordinator in your cases.
