As parenting coordinators we enter high conflict custody cases in a neutral role, to counsel the parties and intervene when necessary to prevent ongoing litigation. Our role as parenting coordinators is to manage ongoing issues between parents in the aftermath of high conflict divorces by helping them to implement their parenting plans, facilitating their disputes in a timely manner, educating them about how their children’s needs can best be met under the circumstances. In some cases, with prior approval of the parties and the Court, we make decisions when mediation fails. The process is child focused and presents an alternative to ongoing litigation.
