QUESTION
What does a parenting coordinator mean?
Asked on Jul 21st, 2014 on Child Custody - Oklahoma
More details to this question:
My fiancé has been in court with his baby momma fighting over the son. The court agreed on joint custody and ordered for a parenting coordinator. His attorney said that she would just act as a mediator for when they can't decide on something for the kid. But upon looking it up, it says that not only does she make them meet with her together but that she can also make them participate in activities and even therapy. Obviously, I am in no way OK with this. When they meet over a custody case, are significant others allowed to be present?

Take a deep breath. Take a giant step back. You do not have to be ok with it. With respect, it is not about you. It is about both parents learning the necessity to be respectful with each other regarding their children. You may be brought into the matter in time. Perhaps even early on. But the priority is going to be children and that even though adults go apart, they are still parents. If they do not interact appropriately with each other, there will be no chance of appropriate interaction with you. Stay calm and significant other on.
