A Parenting Consultant assists divorced or divorcing parents with most disputed issues that involve their children. Working together, we negotiate solutions to disputes in an effort to avoid costly and time-consuming court intervention. The Parenting Consultant is agreed upon by both parents, pre– or post-decree, and is then appointed by a judge. Parenting Consulting is not confidential, the Consultant is able to speak to the attorneys or the court. This way, decisions and resolutions are clear and open to both parties.

Initially, the Parenting Consultant will meet with both parents to gather background information, review agreements and court orders, and set an agenda of items to be addressed. If appropriate or necessary, a meeting with an individual parent, the children, a teacher, or therapist, etc. may also be arranged. This allows the parenting consultant to fully understand the family’s needs as we address plans for parenting.
