Helping You Find a Parenting Coordinator in New Jersey

You have a custody order and parenting time schedule – but disagreements keep coming up. Going back to court can be very expensive and time-consuming.  A parenting coordinator offers a better path to resolve day-to-day conflicts without filing motions or returning to court.

How Parenting Coordination Works

If both parents agree, a consent order is prepared identifying the parenting coordinator and defining their role – often without court appearance. The coordinator then serves as an on-call resource when disputes arise.

When a disagreement comes up, either parent contacts the coordinator. The other parent responds within a set timeframe. The parenting coordinator may then facilitate a discussion with the parents by phone or video, or issue a determination on smaller issues when the order grants that authority.

Why It Works

A parenting coordinator becomes familiar with your family’s specific dynamics and needs over time. This ongoing relationship helps reduce misunderstandings and improve communication between parents.

If an agreement cannot be reached, the coordinator can prepare a letter to the court. These letters carry significant weight because the coordinator has direct insights into both parents’ conduct. That built-in accountability encourages cooperation – parents who act unreasonably know the court will hear about it.
