When post-divorce conflicts arise, Parenting Coordinators provide essential guidance for high-conflict parents, helping them apply court orders to real-life situations.

At BKR, we assist families in navigating parenting coordination to foster cooperative co-parenting and reduce conflict.

In collaborative divorce, each party has their own attorney who files necessary documents, communicates with the court, and guides their client through the legal process. Attorneys and clients work alongside other professionals, such as divorce coaches, child specialists, and financial advisors, who help address emotional concerns, prioritize children's needs, and advise on asset division. The collaborative process encourages open communication and creative resolutions without the need for formal discovery. If an agreement isn’t reached, attorneys are precluded from litigation, ensuring all settlement discussions remain confidential. Several BKR attorneys are trained in collaborative divorce to support clients through this unique approach.

Mediation allows both parties to work collaboratively with a neutral mediator to resolve their case. Each party, along with their attorney, can explore creative solutions that meet the unique needs of their family, with full control over the outcome. Mediators, typically attorneys, facilitate discussions, pointing out strengths and weaknesses to guide toward resolution, but they do not have binding authority. If an agreement is reached, it is formalized during the session; if not, the case may proceed to court. Mediation sessions are confidential, ensuring privacy throughout the process.

Family law arbitration offers a private, flexible alternative to traditional court proceedings, where parties agree to submit their case to a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge. Attorneys present each side’s claims, and the arbitrator issues a binding decision. Arbitration is often faster and more convenient, with options to relax evidence rules and keep proceedings confidential. It’s ideal for resolving specific or urgent issues, like school choice or relocation, and allows for appeal, providing a tailored approach for family law cases.
