Parent Coordinator Decision-Making Services

What is a Parent Coordinator Decision-Maker?

A Parent Coordinator Decision Maker (PC/DM) is a neutral third-party professional appointed by the court to assist parents in resolving disputes related to their parenting plan. The goal is to reduce conflict and ensure that parenting decisions are made in the best interests of the children.  A Parent Coordinator who is also a Decision Maker is granted the authority by mutual agreement of the parties and appointment by the Court to make binding decisions to resolve disputes when parents cannot agree. 

A Parenting Coordinator / Decision-Maker (PC/DM) can: 

• • Reduce Conflict: By addressing and resolving disputes quickly, we help reduce the emotional and psychological stress on both parents and children.
• • Improve Communication: Our services foster better communication and cooperation between parents, promoting a more positive co-parenting relationship.
• • Provide Consistency: Ensuring consistent and fair decision-making helps create a stable and predictable environment for your children.
• • Save Time and Money: Resolving disputes through a Parent Coordinator can be faster and less expensive than returning to court for each disagreement.
