PARENTING COORDINATION
Parenting Coordination is a process in which a parenting coordinator helps the parties implement their parenting plan by facilitating the resolution of disputes between parents or legal guardians.
|
What do we do in Parenting Coordination?
|
Assist the parties in implementing the parenting plan and in developing structured guidelines for implementing the plan.
Develop guidelines for communication between the parents.
Assist the parents in developing parenting strategies to minimize conflict.
Teach communication skills and principles of child development.
Educate both parents about the source of their conflict and its effect on the children.
|
If the parties agree, the court may grant the parenting coordinator the authority to determine specific matters relating to implementing the parenting plan. The coordinator must make the determination in writing, and the coordinator’s determination is binding on the parties until the court finds otherwise.
Confidentiality and Immunity
Communications with the parenting coordinator are not confidential, unless the court finds confidentiality is in the best interests of the child or children. The parties and the coordinator all must agree to the determination of confidentiality. A parenting coordinator is immune from liability for civil damages for any act or omission within the scope of the coordinator’s duties, unless the person acted in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard for the rights, safety, or property of the parties.
