Parent Coordination
Parent coordination services assist parents in making joint decisions related to family matters, most specifically to issues affecting children in the family. This process is an alternative to litigation. It is a way of resolving disputes in a timely manner while minimizing stress to parents and children. Dr. Raymond’s appointment as a Parent Coordinator is based on agreement of the parents and stipulation by the court. The scope of the issues addressed through Parent Coordination is generally established at the time of appointment. Issues typically addressed in Parent Coordination sessions involve flexibility in varying parenting time and temporary shifts in parenting time, extra curricular activities, conflicting approaches to child rearing, and temporary modifications to allow a child to attend social or other activities. Even when these matters seem minor to the adults involved, they are often very important to a child. In addition, they can escalate into serious matters of dispute which cannot be resolved in a timely manner by the court.
