Episode 31 - PART ONE with Kathy Bojczuk - "Call the Parenting Coordinator! Our divorce is over, but my ex keeps fighting!"

"We fought over the divorce, but now that it's over, my ex won't stop fighting about our children! Never a moment's peace! It's always one thing or another -- my ex always looks for exceptions and loopholes in our parenting agreement, and I'm always having to defend my actions and my time with my child! "

IS THERE NO END? After a highly-contested court case involving divorce, child-custody or parenting-time, the arguing and name-calling can continue unabated. There's seemingly no escape from the feuding, sniping and arguing over language, procedures, decisions, calendar dates and time schedules. Every word, sentence or paragraph in a court order, when examined in microscopic detail and with full-throttle hostility, can have life-changing effect. Caught in the middle are the children, victims of the endless war that now threatens to poison the rest of their lives. IT MAY BE TIME FOR A "PARENTING COORDINATOR" TO STEP IN AND TAKE CONTROL.
In this Episode 31, PART ONE, Recorded on 7/16/2021, Barry, Kevin and guest Kathy Bojczuk, a Chicago-area attorney with years of family-law experience, discuss:

• How some parents argue long after court cases are finished,
• The laws or rules that allow a judge to appoint a "Parenting Coordinator,"
• When a Parenting Coordinator might be a good idea - or bad idea,
• Should the Parenting Coordinator be given the power to persuade, or the power to decide,
• Ways to work effectively with a Parenting Coordinator,
• Seeing the bright side of all this!

BUT WHAT ABOUT:

• a parent's freedom to raise his or her children?
• a stranger interfering in basic decisions?
• the cost and complication of having a professional constantly "on call" for flare-ups and disagreements between the parents?
