What is a
Mediator
A mediator is a neutral party that helps people work out a solution to their situation. The mediator does not work for either side, but instead is a buffer between the sides.
Mediators do not give legal advice, but do help parties write up an agreement that suits them.
What is a
Parenting Coordinator
A parenting coordinator is a neutral third party who helps high-conflict parents navigate co-parenting disputes and implement their parenting plan. Appointed by the court or agreed upon by both parents, a parenting coordinator works to reduce conflict, improve communication, and make recommendations in the best interests of the children. While they do not replace legal proceedings, they can help resolve day-to-day parenting disagreements efficiently, minimizing stress for both parents and children.
What is a
Guardian ad Litem
A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is a court-appointed advocate who represents the best interests of a child in legal proceedings, such as custody disputes or cases involving abuse or neglect. The GAL investigates the child's situation by speaking with parents, teachers, and other relevant parties, then provides recommendations to the court. While they do not serve as the child’s attorney, their role is to ensure the child’s well-being and voice are considered in the legal process.
