Parent Coordination

Phoenix Parent Coordination and Custody Lawyers

For some people, child custody disagreements are simply inevitable. However, when these disagreements prevent one or both parties from adhering to the court-ordered custody arrangement, a Parenting Coordinator (PC) may be appointed by the court. Together with attorneys, counselors, social workers and other professionals, the Parenting Coordinator will help the parents work together and protect the best interests of the child or children.

DeShon Pullen & Associates can help with your child custody issues. If you need a PC to facilitate a more workable parenting plan, call 602-252-1968 or call toll free 1-877-252-1969. You can also email us and someone will be in touch with you promptly.

What Issues are addressed in Parent Coordination?

Most of our attorneys and staff are parents. We understand the emotional strain of high conflict child custody cases. We also understand the stress that a divorce and its many post-divorce issues can bring to your life. We know that the problems you are experiencing may involve logistical issues rather than just legal issues. With the help of a parenting coordinator, you can work out problems involving:

• Visitation (time and place of exchange)
• Daycare
• Schools
• Holidays
• Extracurricular fees++

In meetings with a PC, the parents freely discuss their concerns regarding the parenting plan and any options to change the plan. If the parents are unable to agree on an issue, the PC can help guide them toward a mutually acceptable resolution. Please note, the PC does not have the ability to make recommendations to the court regarding changes in parenting time or custody, but can make recommendations regarding certain parental concerns.

With guidance from a Parenting Coordinator, many parenting disputes can be fully resolved. DeShon Pullen & Associates is here to assist with all your family law needs, no matter how complicated they may seem. Contact us to arrange your free initial consultation.
