 1. Cooperative Parenting Facilitation: Court ordered or Rule 11 agreement. The facilitator coaches the co-parents in the cooperative parenting process by confronting the actions and non-actions of the co-parents that keep the child in stress. The facilitator has the opportunity to consult with other professionals, make referrals, and follow the case as needed to provide the parents an option to deal with their conflict outside of the court. All of these services are specifically defined by the definition of the order.
A facilitator can write status reports to the court as needed and defined in the order, testify in court and be contacted by other professionals.
Cooperative Parenting Facilitation is the broadest and most involved service that we offer. This level of service is recommended for high conflict cases..

2. Parent Coordination: HB 555 has defined the role of a Parent Coordinator in Texas to be a court ordered process. A parent coordinator is appointed by the court to assist the parties in resolving issues related to parenting, development of a parenting plan and identifying a dispute resolution process.
A Parent Coordinator as defined by the law can not testify in court or submit a report into evidence. The only form of communication that is allowed with the court is for a Parent Coordinator to report if the process should continue.
A Parent Coordinator would be effective in dealing with mid-level conflict cases. However, if the process is not effective, then an additional appointment of a Cooperative Parenting Facilitator should be considered to deal with some cases.
