2. Parenting & Co-Parenting

When parents separate, their children’s well-being remains a shared responsibility. Parenting mediation helps parents develop practical arrangements that support their children’s needs while reducing conflict and improving communication between households.

Stephen Rosenfield assists parents in addressing parenting schedules, decision-making responsibilities, holidays, school arrangements, extracurricular activities and communication between parents. Mediation also provides an opportunity to discuss how arrangements may need to evolve as children grow and family circumstances change.

Stephen has extensive experience working with families facing complicated parenting situations, including families with children who have ADHD, learning differences or additional educational and developmental needs. His approach emphasizes consistency, flexibility and helping parents develop workable arrangements that recognize each child’s individual circumstances.

Parenting mediation can also help parents establish procedures for managing future disagreements, sharing children’s expenses and communicating respectfully. The objective is to develop a clear, practical parenting plan that supports the children and provides both parents with greater predictability.

A thoughtful parenting plan can help reduce conflict today while providing a foundation for more effective co-parenting in the years ahead.
