The goal of a parenting consultant is simple – to help families navigate the difficult issues surrounding many common co-parenting issues like parenting time disagreements (visitation), discipline or differences in parenting styles, educational, extracurricular issues and problems with agreement on schedules. A parenting consultant is generally appointed by the court, but parents can make a recommendation for who they want to work with. Co-parenting during and after divorce is challenging. Your parenting consultant can help you find solutions for issues that come up between you and your ex, decisions that are in the best interest of your kids. It is important to know that your parenting consultant can make decisions if needed.
Parenting Consulting Services in MN and WI
Johnson Mediation is a mediation firm based in Victoria, Minnesota that serves clients all over Minnesota and Wisconsin. We offer a wide variety of divorce and parenting mediation services including parenting consulting services. Divorce is a huge change for a family, and it can be difficult to keep the focus on the best interest of your kids when emotions and conflict are high. A parenting consultant can give you support during this process. The staff at Johnson Mediation strives to make the divorce process less stressful for all members of your family, including your kids. As a parenting consultant, we can help you resolve issues that come up quickly and efficiently so that they do not get worse.
Generally, if you and your ex agree to work with a parenting consultant, you enter into a contract that allows the parents to first mediate the dispute. If a resolution is not reached, then the parenting consultant will then make a decision and the parents agree to accept this decision. It is important to also know that a parenting consultant does not mediate issues surrounding custody or financial issues.
