Stop Litigating. Start Parenting.
Structured Parenting Coordination or Single Issue Arbitration in British Columbia
When communication breaks down, decisions stop getting made—and parenting arrangements stop working. I provide Structured Parenting Coordination or Single‑Issue Family Law Arbitration services remotely across British Columbia, helping parents resolve disputes without returning to court. I offer two structured, decision‑focused processes designed to contain conflict, reduce unnecessary costs, and move parenting issues forward one issue at a time. Stop Arguing About the Process. Start Solving the Problem.
Rolling Single‑Issue Family Law Arbitration
Single-issue arbitration is a separate, stand alone process — not an extension of parenting coordination. It's designed for families where parenting coordination isn't the right fit: when there are no foundational parenting plan orders in place, when the court order doesn't grant a parenting coordinator the authority to make decisions, or when the issues involve matters outside a PC's jurisdiction (such as family property, child support, or spousal support). In this role, I act as an arbitrator — not a parenting coordinator, past or present. Each issue is defined and decided individually, with a binding, court-enforceable decision under British Columbia law. This allows families to resolve disputes efficiently, one issue at a time, without the cost and delay of full litigation.
Professional Parenting Coordination Services
If you already have a parenting agreement or court order, but it is not working in practice, parenting coordination provides a structured process to implement existing arrangements and resolve day‑to‑day parenting disputes.
Children only get one childhood. Not two. Not a redo. And while the adults are locked in conflict, that single, irreplaceable childhood is quietly being consumed by stress, loyalty binds, and adult problems they were never meant to carry.
Structure First
Family law disputes don't need open-ended process. They need structure — a clear, contained process that resolves issues and then gets out of the way so you can move forward on your own.
That's the approach I take. When agreement is possible, I help you reach it. When it's not, I have the legal authority to make decisions so parenting and decision-making problems don't stall out. No endless billing. No spiralling conflict. Just progress.
End Litigation
With either parenting coordination or rolling single-issue family law arbitration, you may never need to return to court again. If you do, the issues are usually far fewer.
Stop the cycle of delay, escalation, and mounting legal bills.
Keep the focus on your children, not the conflict.
Build skills you can use independently, reducing reliance on professionals over time.
Why This is Different
I apply structure where other approaches fail — even in the highest-conflict situations. Without judgment, I understand how an emotional story can take over and prevent progress, no matter how much is known about healthy co-parenting.
I've written over 80 articles on my blog and created parentingcoordinatorbc.online, a free public resource for co-parenting education.
When education alone isn't enough, I provide a strict system:
-
- Contained communication. Contracts, court orders, and exceptional-circumstances forms keep the volume from spiralling.
- Accountability. Non-compliance is reported — parents are held to expectations.
- Cost control. The process is structured so you don't get billed to death.
- Ethical rigour. I follow my professional ethical guidelines at all times.
I'm passionate about this work because I've witnessed the alternative —the cost, stress and damage of the litigation alternative.
You don't need to decide upfront which process fits. A brief, confidential consultation will clarify whether parenting coordination or arbitration is the most effective path for your circumstances.
