Parenting Coordination in Alabama: The Current Status‪.‬

I. INTRODUCTION Parenting Coordination has emerged across American and Canadian jurisdictions as a frequently used, court-ordered alternative dispute resolution (ADR) neutral role. These neutral roles have goals, which include protecting children from high conflict and assisting litigious post-divorce families with the implementation of safe and workable parenting plans.
