"Parenting Coordination" is a child-centered process for conflicted divorced and divorcing parents. The Parenting Coordinator (PC) makes decisions to help high-conflict parents who cannot agree to parenting decisions on their own. This professional text serves as a training manual for use in all states and provinces which utilize "Parenting Coordination," addressing the intervention process and the science that supports it.

The text offers up-to-date research, a practical guide for training, service provision, and references to relevant research for quality parenting coordination practice. Specifically, this book describes the integrated model of "Parenting Coordination," including the Parent Coordinator's professional role, responsibilities, protocol for service, and ethical guidelines.

Using a GPS analogy, Co Parenting After Divorce presents a road map for developing a customized parenting plan either with a parenting coordinator or on your own. Learn what to expect from a parenting coordinator and from the court system, how to track factors important for your child's development, how and when to adjust the plan, and how to handle bumps in the road and avoid common mistakes. Written by one of only a few experts on parenting coordination, Dr. Debra Carter provides solid information that every divorcing parent needs to know before, during and after the divorce. Instead of letting conflict and divorce harm children, this book helps parents avoid actions and behaviors that influence kids in a lifelong negative way, and instead gives parents tools to prevent harm to their children even when parents are no longer together.
