In the past the legal system has had limited resources available to assist high conflict families.

Five Reasons to Work With A Parenting Coordinator
Co-parenting isn’t always a very easy thing to do. A big part of doing so involves making joint decisions about all sorts of things concerning your children, whether it be what they eat for dinner tonight to which school they attend. When making these kinds of decisions results in conflict and you can’t even get close to reaching a resolution, it’s probably time to enlist help from a professional. That’s where a parenting coordinator may be able to help.

How Parenting Coordinators Keep Divorced Parents Out of Court
All too often, divorce can get ugly. And when there are children involved, things can get even uglier. Each parent feels they have certain rights, the child is often caught in the middle, and a seemingly never-ending cycle of feuding fueled by bitterness and jealousy begins — both in court and out.
Enter, “parenting coordinators.”
Such is the name given to the select group of professional psychologists and lawyers who have been specially trained to aid in particularly contentious divorce cases. It’s all part of an initiative launched by the Family Justice Courts (FJC) back in 2016. The coordinators, who are assigned to manage high-conflict child custody and visitation cases, have one goal in mind: facilitating parent cooperation and carrying court-ordered arrangements.

New Rule Brings Clarity to Parenting Coordinator Roles, Jon Fields and Vicki L. Shemin Co-Write Op-Ed
Parenting coordinator roles just got a significant boost and increased clarity, according to Vicki L. Shemin and Jon Fields, in an op-ed co-written for Massachusetts Lawyers’ Weekly. With a rollout of new parenting coordinator roles rules (Probate & Family Court Standing Order 1-17, effective July 1) and the decision of the Appeals Court in Leon v. Cormier, Parenting Coordinators now have the boundaries of their roles more clearly defined than ever, and many of their logistical decisions about parenting that don’t affect the custody agreement can be enforced with the court’s authority. This still leaves big questions about what parenting coordinators should do in a variety of situations, especially where the wellbeing of the child may be at risk.
