Parenting coordination in East Pasco

A parenting plan is only as good as the follow-through. When parents keep clashing over exchanges, school decisions or holidays, a parenting coordinator under Fla. Stat. §61.125 helps implement the plan and resolve day-to-day disputes, often without another hearing. Jessica's clinical background in high-conflict and trauma work suits families worn down by repeated litigation.

Pricing is simple: $200 an hour for mediation, a 2-hour minimum, and a free 15-minute consultation.
