PARENTING PLAN DESIGN, Consulting, & mediation

Keeps the focus on the kids.

Let me guess…

You are worried about your kids, the impact of divorce, and how to come up with an agreement with your co-parent.

Divorce is not a one time event, it is a lifelong experience when children are involved. Everyone in the family feels the impact, whether infants, toddlers, elementary age kids, teenagers, or young adults. There is no perfect age, nor a perfect time.

The impact of divorce on you and your children does not simply end with a final settlement. Thus, there is nothing more important than keeping the needs of your children at the center of any divorce decisions.

Together, we will focus on child-centered choices that promote greater adjustment and overall well-being for your family. We will work towards restructuring your family and creating a new positive path forward. Choices about how you will work together with your co-parent will mean everything to your kids, both today and in the future.

Mediation allows you to begin working together with your co-parent in a healthy, amicable way. Mediation avoids the unnecessary tension and stressors that may come with contentious litigation. With my expertise, you can develop a new business-like relationship as parenting partners and can build a parenting plan that best meets the needs of your family.

Your children’s future means everything.

Our work together will be child-centered, creative, and compassionately focused on your children’s unique needs.

Whether you are just starting the process or have reached an impasse with your co-parent, I’m here to help.

Our goals are to keep the children at the center of all discussions and to stay out of the courtroom. Litigation often gets ugly quickly, costs a significant amount of money, and tends to exacerbate hurt feelings, tension, and animosity. Sometimes, one party is unwilling to come to the table and you may not have a choice. Other times, there are ongoing family abuse concerns that prohibit mediation.

If possible, mediation is the best path forward in resolving the issues of your divorce. When there are children involved, both financial and parenting time issues need to be determined in reaching your divorce agreement.

Given that I have extensive personal and professional experience in child development, needs of children at different ages and stages, and co-parenting dynamics, I am uniquely qualified to help you create the best plan to meet the needs of your family.

Parenting plans address time sharing schedules as well as important issues and decisions concerning your children’s health, education, and activities. Together, we will focus on understanding the needs of your children and how you both envision moving forward in restructuring your family.

Parenting Plan Design

Parenting plan design and consulting provides individual support to create the building blocks of a parenting plan or modifications of an existing plan. Perhaps your former partner is unwilling to participate in joint mediation, you are dealing with a high-conflict and/or abusive ex, or you need expert guidance to develop your personalized parenting plan proposal.
