Parenting Coordinators (PCs)

What Is Parenting Coordination?

Parenting coordination is a structured process to help separated or divorced parents manage ongoing co-parenting challenges. It's especially helpful in complex situations where repeated disagreements may affect children’s wellbeing.

Why Parenting Coordination?

I see parenting tension not as failure, but as a signal for growth. With the right support, co-parents can find solutions that benefit their children’s wellbeing and future.

Parenting Coordination vs. Mediation

Parenting coordination, often used in high-conflict situations, helps parents implement and manage parenting plans, while mediation is a voluntary process that helps parents reach mutual agreements — please see below for a detailed comparison between the two.

Aspect	Parenting Coordination	Mediation
Focus	Ongoing support for implementing parenting plans	Single-session dispute resolution
Duration	Long-term (up to 2 years)	Short-term (typically one session)
Confidentiality	Not confidential; can be reported to courts	Confidential process
Court Involvement	Can be court-ordered or voluntary	Often a prerequisite before court proceedings

It is never too late - to take action

If your child is experiencing ongoing conflict during or after a family law proceeding or separation, or even if there has been no legal action taken, this damaging conflict could have negative consequences in their educational, social, and healthy future.

What Is Parenting Coordination?

A Supportive Pathway to Effective Co-Parenting

Parenting Coordination is an ongoing, structured process that helps parents implement their parenting plans, consent orders and court orders and resolve day-to-day disagreements. Unlike traditional mediation, it offers continuous support, focusing on:

Enhancing communication between parents
Managing everyday parenting decisions
Reducing children's exposure to parental disagreements
Maintaining focus on the children's best interests

This process is particularly beneficial for families experiencing high levels of conflict post-separation.
