Cori L. McGuire Parenting Coordinator

Stop Litigating. Start Parenting.

Parenting Coordination for High‑Conflict Families Across British Columbia

When Co‑Parenting Feels Impossible, Structure Can Restore Calm.

If every communication turns into a fight, decisions feel impossible, and court only makes things worse — you are not alone. High‑conflict co‑parenting overwhelms even capable, well‑intentioned parents. Parenting Coordination offers a way forward when traditional approaches have failed. 

My role is to reduce conflict, contain escalation, and help parents make necessary decisions without relitigating the past. Using a clear legal structure, I help families move from reactive conflict to workable agreements — so children are protected and parents can breathe again.

After nearly 30 years in family law and 18 years as a Parenting Coordinator, I made a deliberate decision to leave litigation behind. Today, my practice focuses exclusively on resolving high‑conflict parenting disputes through structured, decisive, child‑focused processes — not endless argument.

Parenting Coordination includes mediation, arbitration, and binding decision‑making — all designed to prevent stalemates and keep families out of court.

If communication is breaking down and decisions can’t wait, help is available.

Call now to discuss whether Parenting Coordination is right for your family. You don’t need to be sure this is the right fit — a brief conversation can help you decide.

For Lawyers:

Parenting Coordination is an innovative solution for separated or divorced parents in conflict. When met with trauma, our brain protects itself with a fight or flight response. There is no ability to problem solve when running away or fighting. Read The Brain on Conflict, for some strategies to regulate emotions and use flexible thinking to problem solve in the best interests of children. It takes practice to heal trauma by developing the neural pathways for this skill. The task requires a lot of effort, therapy, education, structured protocols and time to enable the capacity to focus on solutions in the best interests of your children and rebuild trust over time.
