Stop Litigating. Start Parenting.
Parenting Coordination Solutions for Co-parenting Conflict across British Columbia
After nearly three decades in the legal trenches, I realized something vital: focus on the problem, and the problem grows. Focus on the solution, and the family heals. This realization changed my practice. I moved completely out of litigation to practice exclusively in Parenting Coordination. I no longer spend my days arguing over what went wrong; I spend them building what comes next. Over the past 18 years as a PC, I have developed a unique, solution-focused system designed specifically for BC families stuck in high-conflict transitions. Whether you are navigating high conflict communication or complex health decisions, my system replaces the damage of the courtroom with a decisive legal structure. I provide the mediation, arbitration and expertise needed to turn "impossible" stalemates into binding resolutions. Let’s stop fighting over the problem and start building the solution—for your family’s future and your own peace of mind.
Parenting Coordination is an innovative solution for separated or divorced parents in conflict. When met with trauma, our brain protects itself with a fight or flight response. There is no ability to problem solve when running away or fighting. We need to employ strategies to regulate our emotions and use flexible thinking to problem solve in the best interests of our children. It takes practice to heal trauma by developing the neural pathways for this skill. The task requires a lot of effort, therapy, education, structured protocols and time to enable the capacity to focus on solutions in the best interests of your children and rebuild trust over time. We focus on the following pillars:
- Emotional Regulation: Learning to manage responses for the sake of your children.
- Flexible Thinking: Moving from "winning" to finding practical solutions.
- Respectful Communication: Using structured tools like the App Our Family Wizard to keep the peace.
- Child’s Best Interests: These are objectively definable criteria including factors listed in section 37(2) of the Family Law Act such as stability for your child.
*Service Across BC: While based in Kelowna, I provide virtual and in-person PC and Arbitration services for families in Kelowna, Kamloops, Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George, and all rural communities throughout the province.
