Parenting Coordination What Is Parenting Coordination? The past several years have evidenced an increase in the number of high conflict divorces where the services of a Parenting Coordinator have been successfully utilized to help resolve parenting disputes in Florida. The Parenting Coordinator helps the parents (parties) to either create or implement a parenting plan that will work and one that will endure. The use of the Parenting Coordinator is primarily driven by two factors: a desire to help high conflict families to minimize the negative impact on the children, and to reduce the over-burdened family court system. Who Performs Parenting Coordination? Parenting Coordinators must have the credentials, skill and experience necessary to manage these high conflict cases to resolution. As a general rule, the Parenting Coordinator is a Licensed Mental Health Professional and is Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator. The Conflict Resolution Center, Inc. provides Parenting Coordination services and has been highly successful in resolving difficult disputes. How Can Parents Receive Parenting Coordination Services? Many of the referrals for Parenting Coordination come from the Family Courts. The intent is to save the court's time and to relieve the volume of cases that demand resolution. An increasing number of referrals, however, are being made by Family Law Attorneys who would prefer that their clients would resolve the points of contest as opposed to making another motion for contempt. This is being done with the expectation that courts would probably refer the case to a Parenting Coordinator anyway. There is also evidence that parents, of their own volition and wanting to avoid prohibitive legal fees, come to a Parenting Coordinator to reach some agreement that can be enduring.
