"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?
