What is Parenting Coordination
Parenting Coordination is a child-centred dispute resolution process that is particularly appropriate for parents who are in high conflict post separation and divorce. PC offers a structured dispute resolution process for an extended duration and is appropriate for parents who need ongoing assistance in following their parenting plans or who need small parenting plan adjustments over time. In some cases, Parenting Coordinators assist post separated parents to develop their initial parenting plans.
Parenting Coordination is an on-record, “With-Prejudice” process that is a structured mental health, DR process that combines assessment, education, case management, conflict management, negotiation and, when necessary, decision-making functions (arbitration). Parenting Coordinators have extensive experience and qualifications to work with restructuring family systems post separation and divorce.
Child Centred Parenting Coordination embraces the international intentionality of providing family law processes that are inclusive of the views and concerns of children. Specific strategies must be employed when bringing forward a child voice in “on the record” processes.
