What is parenting coordination ?

Parenting coordination is a child-focused management and dispute resolution process that is facilitated by a mental health or legal practitioner with training and experience in FDR or mediation.

The practitioner assists parents and families in compromised and/or high-conflict situations to create and maintain healthy relationships with their children, where it is safe and reasonable to do so.

This includes helping practitioners to:

• Manage parenting plans and support parents with compliance with any court orders
• Help parents manage minor disputes in relation to their children
• Enhance conflict management skills, communication, and effective decision-making in order to effectively assist their clients
• Take a child-centred approach with a focus on children’s best interests
• Support appropriate family relationships.
