Will Co-Parenting Work For Your Family After Divorce?
Co-parenting is a custody solution that works for many parents. However, it can be challenging and potentially unsuccessful if parents are unwilling to work together in making decisions and raising the children. Co-parenting is a joint custody solution that enables parents to share both legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (the child’s primary residence).
For parents to effectively raise children in a co-parenting situation, it is important to have a co-parenting agreement that addresses all issues that could potentially raise a dispute in the future.
Attorney Lisa A. Ruggieri is a skilled child custody negotiator who assists parents in creating a comprehensive co-parenting agreement. She works to ensure all issues are addressed from the parenting schedule, addressing when the child will reside with each parent to how weekends and holidays will be shared to how important decisions will be made and disagreements will be resolved. Ultimately, she works with parents to create a solution where they each play an important role and have a say in their children’s lives.

Should You Consider Using A Parent Coordinator? Talk To Our Wellesley Lawyer.
In highly contested divorce and child custody cases, it may seem as though a negotiated custody arrangement is out of the question. However, there are options you can consider before proceeding to court. Parent coordinators can be extremely effective in helping parents achieve a workable child custody agreement, even in the most bitter disputes.
A parent coordinator is a neutral third party who works with parents to help them achieve an agreement on all aspects of legal custody and physical custody so that they can continue to raise their children, even though they are no longer together. The parent coordinator works to help parents put their children’s best interests first and achieve a solution with which both parties will comply.
However, if an agreement cannot be achieved, the parents may agree to allow the parent coordinator to serve as an arbitrator who will decide issues that could not be agreed upon. Or, the parents can choose to proceed to court. Regardless of the route, attorney Lisa A. Ruggieri will compassionately and aggressively advocate for the interests of clients and their children.
