Post-Divorce Parent Coordinator: Linda A. Schofel
Parent coordinators are a new tool to help separating and divorcing families. The primary function of a coordinator is to decrease stress for the entire family by managing the logistics for everyone involved in family events (school events, holidays and vacations). They may either be hired directly by a separating couple or appointed by the courts after a divorce. Proven to work wonders in other states such as California, parent coordinators are now licensed to practice in New Jersey.
Linda Schofel is an attorney with experience in Family Law, custody and child support arrangements, visitations and restraining orders.
