Co-parenting can be tough – really tough. Maybe you’re struggling with communicating with your co-parent. Maybe you just can’t agree on consistent rules across homes. Or maybe the disputes are bigger and you need a more formal process. Resolve can help.
The use of a parent coach may be recommended by an attorney or Parenting Consultant when he or she sees that some additional guidance and support would be helpful. The parent coach works with one or both co-parents, assisting them being better able to participate in the divorce or parenting consulting process. This is usually a short-term process, with 60-minute sessions scheduled on an as-needed basis.
Coaching can be especially helpful when there are parent0child contact problems, most typically resistance or refusal of a child toward the targeted or rejcted parent. This coaching is based on hundreds of hours of experience working with these situations. Resolve can provide guidance and help problem-solve these incredibly tricky and emotional situations.
Parenting disputes are an all-too-frequent issue for divorced parents. When these disputes occur, there are options outside of the courtroom – such as the appointment of a Parenting Consultant – to help parents resolve these issues.
Parenting Consultants are trained to help divorced parents make child-focused decisions. I work to assist parents in coming to their own agreements. I help parents individually and together to resolve specific parenting issues, as well as help with communication styles and other struggles.
Common issues brought to a Parenting Consultant:
Most parties agree to employ a Parenting Consultant as part of their divorce decree, and appreciate the ability to turn to someone with decision-making power with a simple phone call. Along with keeping children out of court and conflict out of the home, Parenting Consultants may provide significant time and cost benefits to those who use them. Without a Parenting Consultant, simple day-to-day parenting decisions can require filing a court motion, potentially costing parents months of time and thousands of dollars before a decision is finally reached. I can help resolve those issues within a week or two, and the cost to the parents is just a few hours of my time.
