Helping Parents Reduce Conflict and Priortize Their Children

Parenting after separation can be challenging, especially when communication breaks down and emotions run high. Parent Coordination provides a structured, child-centered process to help parents resolve disputes without exposing their children to ongoing conflict.

At High Conflict Resolutions LLC, Michelle serves as a neutral Parent Coordinator, guiding parents through difficult decisions while keeping the focus where it belongs—on the well-being of their children.

What is Parent Coordination?

Parent Coordination is a specialized dispute resolution service designed to assist parents who struggle to reach agreements about their children. Working with a neutral professional, parents learn how to manage conflict, improve communication, and make decisions in the best interests of their family.

The goal is to keep children out of adult disputes while supporting parents in creating a more cooperative and functional co-parenting relationship.

Parent Coordination can help parents:

  • Make shared decisions regarding parenting schedules, holidays, and transitions

  • Reduce hostility and misunderstandings in communication

  • Establish consistent rules, boundaries, and expectations for children

  • Learn skills to manage ongoing high-conflict dynamics

  • Minimize the emotional impact of conflict on their children
