The Progressive Lawyer

By Curtis J. Romanowski

The functional role of the Parent Coordinator (PC) is not accurately described in any legal code. Currently, most jurisdictions do not sufficiently address issues of due process and very seldom outline protocols for gathering evidence or conducting 'hearings.' The functional roles of the PC ' which may often be an amalgam of interdisciplinary roles ' are often left up for grabs.

Part One of this article defined the newly evolving role of the parenting coordinator and discussed various statutory authorities for the PC role; the role's purpose and scope; how PCs are appointed; what decision-making authority PCs have or do not have; the timing of PC appointments; and the court's jurisdiction to make such appointments. Part Two dealt with additional PC topics, including continuing jurisdiction and judicial review of PC decisions or recommendations. Part Three addresses PC proceedings; ex parte communications; confidentiality; referral for third-party services; access to non-parties, children and privileged information; submission and exception to PC recommendations or reports; and PC immunity.
