What is a parenting coordination?

Parenting coordination is a type of dispute resolution service recognized by the Texas family law code. It is a service used to help parents resolve any disputes that cannot be agreed upon in mediation. The parenting coordinator is usually a mental health professional who is specifically trained and experienced in resolving conflict between parents of minor children. Parenting coordinators serve as impartial so they can make recommendations to the parents, but they don’t make any decisions on behalf of the parents. They can help parents communicate better and resolve conflicts. The parenting coordinator will listen to both parents, review evidence, and encourage both parents to come to an agreement on issues such as parenting time and communication guidelines. The parenting coordinator can also provide education on topics related to parenting time, communication and conflict resolution. At the end of the parenting coordination process, the parenting coordinator will provide a report to the court that outlines any recommendations made during the process. The court will then consider these recommendations when making decisions about the family. It is important to note that the parenting coordinator’s report does not guarantee that the court will accept their recommendations.
