Jersey City Parent Coordinator Lawyer

Implementing Court Ordered Parenting Plans

Sometimes, even after custody and parenting issues are decided by the court or settlement and a parenting plan is in place, conflict continues to exist and parents find it difficult to communicate and coordinate parenting efforts. In some situations, the court or parties may decide that a parent coordinator is in the best interest of the child and family. Lori Cieckiewicz has served in this role and has helped families resolve their disputes.

What is The Role of a Parent Coordinator?

The purpose of a parent coordinator is to provide aid in monitoring the parenting plan in order to reduce misunderstandings, improve methods of communication, promote collaboration, and find opportunities for compromise when disagreements arise. The parent coordinator is not authorized to make modifications to the existing parenting plan, but only to help in implementing and monitoring the existing plan.

When the Court May Appoint a Parent Coordinator

The New Jersey Supreme Court implemented a pilot program in several counties for the use of parent coordinators. Although that program ended in 2012, the court may still appoint a parent coordinator to facilitate the resolution of day to day parenting issues. Generally, a coordinator is appointed when there are minor children and a parenting plan has been established, but parents cannot resolve issues on their own.

The court may appoint a parent coordinator when:

  • There is conflict between the parents
  • The family has a history of domestic violence, anger, or abuse
  • The parents continually have difficulty communicating and cooperating
  • The child has special needs
  • There has been an excess of litigation concerning custody and parenting issues
  • The court finds a compelling reason that a parent coordinator is in the child’s best interests

The goal is to help limit litigation and promote collaboration and communication between the parents.
