Understanding the Effects of High-Conflict Divorce on Kids

What is a parenting coordinator? Why/when do you need one?
A parenting coordinator helps high-conflict co-parents with decision making and reducing conflict. They help parents build positive problem solving skills. If nearly every decision regarding your child leads to an argument, it may be in your child(ren)’s best interest to consider involving a parenting coordinator. Check out this article from Psychology Today about the effects conflict can have on children.
