Parent Coordination

Shana Moke and Erin Nielsen Ogdahl discuss parent coordination and custody evaluations on the podcast to help parents in the Sioux Falls area resolve issues without going to court. Parent coordination is court-ordered and involves setting goals with families to resolve disagreements, referring families to resources, providing education on the impact of parents’ behavior on the child, and upholding the court order. It can be costly and requires a court order for guidelines and enforcement, but it is an effective way to help parents make decisions without court involvement.
