one of the forms of adr is what we call
00:07
parenting consulting other states call
00:10
parenting coordinators and a parenting
00:13
consultant in minnesota first of all has
00:15
to be agreed to by the parties it cannot
00:18
be ordered by the court without the
00:19
parties agreeing
00:21
and a parenting consultant is someone in
00:23
high conflict custody cases
00:27
who
00:27
learns about the parties and then is
00:30
able to first of all
00:33
negotiate with them just like mediation
00:35
to try and come to a resolution of
00:38
of issues and if not the
00:41
parenting consultant then makes the
00:43
decision
00:44
and that decision then is binding on the
00:46
parties
00:47
they have a certain amount of time to go
00:49
to court and say
00:51
they want to overturn that decision
00:53
generally people don’t do that so these
00:56
are for parties that are already
00:57
divorced
00:59
and have kids and are still very high
01:02
