You made it through the divorce process, but you and your co-parent are stuck and unable to make joint decisions. While you have a marital settlement agreement in place, there still seems to be grey areas or issues that need to be addressed over time, such as selecting vacation dates or extra-curricular activities. It feels impossible to agree on anything and you want to make sure your kids are not caught in the middle. A Parent Coordinator can be the perfect solution.
A Parent Coordinator is a neutral party appointed by the Court to help facilitate the timely resolution of day-to-day parenting issues when the parties can not resolve issues on their own.
