Parenting Coordination
Less Conflict. Clearer Communication. Children First.
Co-parenting after separation or divorce can be challenging—especially when communication has become strained, disagreements happen frequently, or parents have difficulty making decisions together.
At R&R Coaching, Counseling & Parenting Coordination, parenting coordination provides a structured, child-focused process designed to help parents manage conflict, improve communication, and navigate parenting disagreements more effectively.
Restore peace. Reduce conflict. Refocus on what matters most.
Six gentle steps
How the Process Works
The specific requirements will depend upon the circumstances of the case.
01
1. Initial Inquiry
Contact R&R to inquire about parenting coordination services.
We will gather basic information to determine whether the service may be appropriate and whether there are any potential conflicts that would prevent us from accepting the matter.
02
2. Documentation Review
Before services begin, relevant agreements, parenting plans, court orders, or other required documentation may need to be reviewed.
03
3. Orientation & Expectations
Parents receive information about the parenting coordination process, communication expectations, professional boundaries, fees, documentation, confidentiality limitations, and the scope of the Parenting Coordinator’s role.
04
4. Identify Areas of Conflict
The Parenting Coordinator works to identify recurring areas of disagreement and communication patterns that may be contributing to conflict.
05
5. Develop More Effective Systems
Parents work toward clearer communication methods, expectations, routines, and strategies for resolving future parenting concerns.
06
6. Ongoing Coordination
When new disagreements arise, the parenting coordination process provides a structured framework for addressing them while keeping the focus on the children.
Good to know
Frequently Asked Questions
Is parenting coordination the same as therapy?
No. Parenting coordination and psychotherapy are separate services with different purposes, roles, expectations, and confidentiality considerations.
Does the Parenting Coordinator take sides?
The Parenting Coordinator serves in a neutral role and does not act as an advocate for either parent. The focus is on improving the co-parenting process and maintaining attention on the children’s needs.
Can you change our parenting plan?
A Parenting Coordinator does not replace the court or provide legal representation. The Parenting Coordinator’s authority is limited by applicable law and the specific court order or agreement governing the case.
Parents should speak with their attorneys regarding requested legal modifications to a parenting plan or court order.
Your Children Don’t Need Perfect Co-Parents.
They Need Adults Willing to Put Them Before the Conflict.
You may never agree about everything.
You may communicate very differently.
You may have very different households.
And you may still have unresolved feelings about what happened between you.
But your children should not have to carry those differences.
