What role can a Parent Coordinator take in a divorce or paternity action? The state of Florida requires that any couple with children involved in a divorce or paternity action develop a comprehensive parenting and timesharing plan to address the issues of contact between the parents and children. When parents are not able to agree on some or all of the issues within the parenting plan, a parent coordinator can be utilized.
A parenting coordinator is an impartial third person whose role is to help parents resolve conflicts based on the children’s best interest. The parenting coordinator works with both parents to foster an attitude of cooperative decision making. The ultimate goal is to help the parents find ways to reach agreements regarding their children without the coordinator’s intervention.
