Parenting Coordination

We can help you manage ongoing issues with your ex-partner about the parenting agreement you have reached so that you can better support your children at the time they need it most.

Often, it is the small day to day things that parents can’t agree on, such as child-care arrangements or drop-off and pickup locations or why school uniforms are not returned laundered. Other times it is bigger issues such as travel or education.

Fees for a Parenting Coordinator are a fraction of the usual costs with litigation.

How Can Parenting Coordination Help?

Once parents have a Parenting Order or a Parenting Plan in place our Parenting Coordinator works with parents to help them carry out their ongoing parenting arrangements more easily.

A Family Court may order parents to participate in Parenting Coordination or parents may choose it themselves.
Parenting Coordination is not a confidential process and sometimes the Parenting Coordinator may provide their observations and recommendations to a Family Court. This helps keep everyone on track and accountable.

We can help you manage ongoing issues with your ex-partner about the parenting agreement you have reached so that you can better support your children at the time they need it most.

    What’s the process for Parenting Coordination?

     

    Step 1 – Individual Intake Meeting

    Each parent begins by attending a separate intake meeting with Mary Louise to share their perspective, discuss the relevant orders, and explore their goals for Parenting Coordination. This helps lay the groundwork for a constructive and focused process tailored to your family’s needs.

    These meetings are available either in person or online.

     

    Step 2 – Ongoing Joint Meetings

    Once both individual intake meetings have been completed, we move into joint Parenting Coordination sessions. These meetings are usually held monthly but can be adjusted based on your family’s needs or any court orders in place.

    The focus of these sessions is to:

          • Address challenges as they arise
          • Support clearer and more respectful communication
          • Foster a more workable co-parenting dynamic

    We offer flexibility in how you attend: sessions can take place in person, online via Zoom, or in a hybrid format (with one parent attending in person and the other online), depending on what suits your family best.
