CLE: Parenting Coordination and Domestic Violence - Best Practices and Legal Considerations

This program covers how parenting coordination works under section 61.125, Florida Statutes, and Florida Family Law Rule of Procedure 12.742 in cases involving domestic violence & coercive control. Presenters explain how a parenting coordinator's role differs from a guardian ad litem's. They review the protections available to survivors, including consent requirements, no joint sessions & court-monitored communication.

Learn how to draft orders of referral that limit the coordinator's issues & term, allocate costs fairly & build in safety measures. Presenters will also address access when a client cannot afford a coordinator, risk factors such as lethality, the exceptions to confidentiality & how to obtain a coordinator's testimony.

The program closes with trauma-informed client interviewing & practical advocacy tips.
