Parenting Coordination

Keeps the kids at the center.

Parenting Coordinators (PC’s) help parents implement their parenting plan and resolve day-to-day parenting issues when parents can not agree on their own.

Benefits of a parenting coordinator include:

  • Help improve communication between parents.

  • Reduce conflicts and misunderstandings.

  • Facilitate decision-making between parents.

  • Provide recommendations to meet the best interests of the children.

  • Reduce litigation in court and reduce legal expense.

  • Shorter time-frames for resolving issues.

PC’s can help with:

  • Establishing pick-up and drop-off plans

  • Childcare arrangements

  • Minor or temporary changes in the parenting schedule for holidays, vacations, and special events

  • Dates for summer vacation.

  • Contact with children (e.g., phone calls, texting)

  • Extra-curricular activities

  • Referrals to other professionals

  • A child’s travel and passport arrangements

  • Exchange of the children’s possessions, sports gear, etc.

  • Information exhanges

You made it through the divorce process, but you and your co-parent are still struggling to make decisions together. Even with a Marital Settlement Agreement in place, gray areas and new parenting issues inevitably arise, such as scheduling vacations, swapping days, or choosing extra-curricular activities. When disagreements become ongoing and difficult to resolve, it can feel impossible to move forward without conflict. A Parenting Coordinator can help you navigate these challenges, resolve disputes, and keep your children out of the middle.

As a licensed psychologist with extensive experience working with families and lived experience as a divorced mom, I bring a unique perspective to Parenting Coordination. My background in child development, family dynamics, and high-conflict co-parenting allows me to look beyond the immediate disagreement and help parents develop practical child-centered solutions.

I am also included on the New Jersey Judiciary’s Roster of Approved Parenting Coordinators.

Child-centered, forward-moving.

A Parenting Coordinator is a neutral professional appointed by the Court, or agreed upon by both parents, to help resolve ongoing parenting disputes. In New Jersey, Parenting Coordinators may make binding recommendations on parenting-related issues within the scope of their authority. These recommendations remain in effect unless modified by the Court.
