What is a Parenting Consultant?
A parenting consultant is a neutral third party who assists divorced parents in resolving custody and parenting disputes that may arise after the divorce has been finalized. Parents may choose to include a parenting consultant as a part of their divorce settlement.
Marty. Swaden of Swaden Resolution Services, LLC, provides services as a parenting consultant for clients in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and throughout the Twin Cities. With more than 46 years of experience, he is a well-known family law practitioner and regularly receives referrals and appointments for his parenting consulting services.
The Advantages of Having a Parenting Consultant
In the past, divorced parents needed to go to back to court to resolve parenting disputes. Today, however, a parenting consultant can help parents resolve disputes outside of the traditional court proceeding. By facilitating discussions in a neutral space, the parenting consultant seeks to help parents achieve compromises that remain consistent with their original agreement. To the extent that parents cannot agree, he or she also has the authority to make a final decision on their behalf.
This process helps parents avoid the often lengthy — and costly — court process. Furthermore, many people find going to court stressful. Working with a parenting consultant negates that particular stressor entirely, leaving you free to focus on resolving the issues at hand.
