PARENTING COORDINATION
When divorced or divorcing parents don’t agree on making major decisions about their child, and conflict is heightened, a parent coordinator can be appointed to resolve conflicts. The parent coordinator helps the couple learn to coparent effectively and ultimately make final decisions if needed.
The professionals at Orlando Mediation Group have experience in serving as parent coordinators who have been appointed through a consent order, or by order directly from a judge. Parent coordinators generally work with both parents, getting updates about the health of co-parenting relationship, problems with interactions between and couple, and decisions that the couple is having a difficult time coming to an agreement over. Parent Coordinators assist the couple in resolving their disputes. In many cases, the court order appointing a parent coordinator will specify areas that the parent coordinator can serve as an arbitrator.
