Serving Vancouver and Langley

Co-parenting can be challenging, and children often bear the impact of disputes between parents. A parenting coordinator helps resolve conflicts efficiently, ensuring that decisions are made in the children’s best interests and that they are not caught in the middle.

Parenting Coordination

Parenting Coordinator

A parenting coordinator is a neutral professional – often a lawyer, psychologist, or other trained professional – who helps parents manage and implement their parenting arrangements. They work to reduce conflict by facilitating communication and, in some cases, make binding decisions on limited issues.

Appointment of a Parenting Coordinator

A parenting coordinator may be appointed by agreement between the parties or by a court order. The appointment is set out in a written agreement or order that defines the scope of their authority and the length of their role. Parenting coordinators are typically appointed for a two-year term, with the option to renew the appointment if needed.

What Issues Can a Parenting Coordinator Help With?

A parenting coordinator can assist with day-to-day parenting disputes such as scheduling, parenting time, and communication between parents. They may also help resolve disagreements about a child’s routine, activities, and health or educational decisions. This keeps the parents from having to go to court over minor issues.
