Parenting Coordination

---

Parenting coordination provides ongoing, neutral support for parents who need help implementing parenting plans, reducing conflict, and making day-to-day decisions in the best interest of their children. When communication becomes strained or emotions make agreement difficult, a Parenting Coordinator helps bring structure, consistency, and calm to the process.

At The Peacemaker Mediation Group™, LLC, parenting coordination is rooted in neutrality, child-focused decision-making, and respectful communication. Our goal is not to revisit past disputes, but to help families move forward with clarity, accountability, and stability.

Parenting coordination is a child-focused alternative dispute resolution process for parents experiencing ongoing conflict following separation or divorce. A Parenting Coordinator works with both parents to:

• Clarify and implement existing parenting plans.
   
• Support consistent decision-making
   
• Reduce repeated court involvement.
   
• Improve communication and cooperation.n
   
• Keep the focus on the child’s well-bein.g
   

Parenting coordination may be court-ordered or voluntarily agreed upon by both parents.

Parenting coordination is especially helpful when:

• Communication between parents frequently breaks down.
   
• Minor disagreements repeatedly escalate
   
• Parenting plans lack clarity or flexibility.
   
• Emotions interfere with productive conversation.
   
• Children are caught in the middle of the conflict.t
   
• Parents want support without returning to court.
   

A Parenting Coordinator helps slow the process down, guides communication, and provides a structured path forward.

Through parenting coordination, The Peacemaker Mediation Group™ provides:

• Neutral guidance focused on the child’s best interests.
   
• structured communication to reduce misunderstandings
   
• support with schedules, routines, and transitions
   
• assistance addressing recurring parenting issues
   
• accountability to parenting plans and court orders
   
• calm, trauma-aware facilitation
   

Sessions may be conducted in person or virtually, allowing flexibility for families with different schedules and needs.

Our parenting coordination services are grounded in:

• Neutrality — We do not take sides or advocate for one parent over another
   
• Child-Centered Focus — Decisions prioritize stability, safety, and well-being
   
• Structure — Clear processes reduce emotional escalation
   
• Respect — Every parent is treated with dignity
   
• Practical Solutions — Agreements are realistic and workable for daily life
   

We help parents move from conflict to cooperation, one conversation at a time.

Parenting coordination services may be initiated:

• by court order
   
• through attorney referral
   
• by mutual agreement of both parents
   

We work collaboratively with attorneys, courts, therapists, and other professionals to support families while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

Parenting coordination services are billed at an hourly rate, starting at $200 per hour. Retainer requirements and billing details are provided during the intake process to ensure transparency and clarity for all parties.
