Lynn Fletcher is an AFCC-trained parenting coordinator and experienced family mediator who works with parents after separation and divorce to protect and sustain safe, healthy and meaningful parent-child relationships. Frequently communication between parents becomes more strained or breaks down completely during and after the divorce process. As disagreements and hostility mount, the children can be caught in the middle while the emotional and financial costs of ongoing litigation increase exponentially. As a parenting coordinator I assist parents to reduce conflict and to clarify and implement their parenting plan in order to improve outcomes for their children.
