Cooperative Parenting
Sometimes families reach impasses that prevent them from resolving co-parenting challenges. Cooperative parenting, also called co-parenting consultation, sessions provide a respectful environment for both parents to share their concerns and develop a written plan of action. The professional is able to provide recommendations and relevant information in order to assist in the formulation of a plan in the best interest of children. This role is a hybrid of mediation and co-parenting education. The professional works with both parents to facilitate an appropriate plan for your children’s transition between two homes. This process assists in designing a co-parenting plan that outlines current and future details regarding how you are going to raise your child between their two homes.
To meet with a professional to help you design a co-parenting plan, complete the intake form along with the contract for services and fax your form to us. Rates are $150.00 per hour (not per person). Please plan on at least a three hour initial meeting.
Families that have attended coparenting education have a greater success rate, better follow-through, feel more empowered, and utilize their time more effectively in cooperative parenting sessions. Completion of the Children in the Middle Co-parenting class is strongly recommended prior to the first session and may be required if you are court ordered.
