Conflict resolution for co-parenting.
Parenting coordination is a collaborative process designed to help separated or divorced parents manage ongoing disputes about their children. In British Columbia, a parenting coordinator is a trained and neutral professional who works with both parents or guardians to implement parenting arrangements, resolve conflicts, and ensure decisions are made in the best interests of the children.
What Parenting Coordination can do:
- Help parents/guardians communicate effectively about schedules, activities, and day-to-day parenting issues
- Resolve disputes before they escalate to court
- Provide guidance on implementing existing court orders or parenting plans
- Facilitate cooperative problem-solving while prioritizing children’s well-being
How we can help:
- Advising parents/guardians on whether parenting coordination is appropriate for their situation
- Assisting in the appointment of a parenting coordinator
- Guiding parents/guardians through the coordination process and expectations
- Helping enforce or clarify the recommendations of a parenting coordinator
Parenting coordination is especially valuable in high-conflict situations where communication between parents is challenging. Our team provides clear guidance, strategic support, and advocacy to help families implement effective solutions while keeping children’s best interests at the center of every decision.
