A parent coordinator’s role is to assist divorced families in settling disputes when they are unable to do so on their own. A parent coordinator may be sought out by the family or ordered by the court. These families typically have difficulty agreeing on parenting decisions or struggle with other custody issues. Instead of a costly litigation process, a family can work with an experienced parent coordinator who will remain neutral, while guiding the parents to compromise.
If the parents cannot be steered toward reasonable dispute resolution, the parenting coordinator will make a written recommendation for solving the problem. If a solution still cannot be reached, then the issue may go to court. The coordinator’s recommendation will be provided to the court to weigh in the case, and they may be called upon to share their observations or answer questions regarding the recommendation.
Every family has different needs and therefore the role of a parent coordinator will adjust to meet those unique needs. Some common pain points coordinators may assist with include
A coordinator may also provide suggestions or referrals for outside services, such as counseling, anger management, parenting courses, or alcohol/drug monitoring.
The parent coordinator role was developed as a solution to increased family litigation cases. Coordinators have training in mediation and have a familiarity with child development. In place of disputes being brought before a judge in family court, the coordinator is utilized to help the families reach compromises on their own. By involving a parent coordinator in these cases, it also reduces the amount of conflict the child is exposed to as a result of the oppositional parent relationship.
