Parenting Coordination

Some custody cases can be more adversarial than others.  Parents who are unable to resolve even minor disputes hire attorneys and spend money to go back to court repeatedly.  It takes time to schedule issues before a judge.  A parent coordinator is a trained individual familiar with custody cases and conflict resolution.  A PC helps resolve disputes between parents outside of court to reach a faster resolution, keeping the focus on the best interests of the children.

Parent coordinators can be chosen voluntarily by the parties or by a court order, and have authority to resolve certain custodial disagreements.  While attorneys and judges try to draft child custody orders that will work for the foreseeable future, it is impossible to anticipate all possible conflicts.  When the parties cannot resolve their differences even with a court order, a parent coordinator can be great alternative to returning to the courtroom.

Our office provides parenting coordination services.  If you are an attorney or a parent interested in learning more about these services and how they might benefit your client or family, please contact us at (704) 829-8195.

Ann Payseur, one of the firm’s partners, is a Certified Mediator for Family Financial Cases, certified by the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission.  Mediation provides parties an alternative to having a judge determine how their marital property and debts will be split between parties. Mediation can also be used to assist parties in determining custody arrangements.
As the mediator, Attorney Payseur will meet with both parties, and their attorneys if represented by counsel.  She will help the parties discuss their disagreements, clarify each party’s needs and positions, and explore settlement options.  The mediator will begin the negotiation process and may meet separately with each party.  The mediator’s goal is to assist the parties in reaching an agreement.
