In Part Two of this special two-part episode focused on Parent Coordination, Susan and  Attorney/Mediator, Carolyn Kalos dive below the surface to dig into some deeper considerations when working with a PC in your high conflict case.  Carolyn shares some examples from her cases of what works and what doesn't and gives you some great questions to ask BEFORE you decide to add a parent coordinator into the mix! Carolyn Kalos has been practicing in New York City, some of the busiest courts in the country for over 25 years and spend many of those years in the courtroom with some of the most difficult cases involving children.  She knows the ins and outs of the system AND it's limitations.  One thing that Carolyn knows for sure is that the court is very often not the best place to resolve issues between co-parents when it comes to disagreements about their kids.   With her special expertise and many years of experience in the family courts as an advocate, Carolyn is passionate about helping families stay out of the system as much as possible, even high conflict cases.  She is a sought-after Parent Coordinator (PC) in New York and is seeing a large uptick in the number of judges appointing PCs and in attorneys suggesting them to clients.  But what exactly is Parent Coordination?  How does it work, how do you find a good one and how does it keep you and your family out of court?

From growing up in a home where dysfunctional dynamics around money created a “rollercoaster in the house”, to entering a marriage where the financial roles from her childhood were repeated, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Barbara Bennett knows firsthand the emotional conflicts that can stem from marital money issues.   In this week’s episode of “Financially Ever After,” Barbara joins Stacy for a moving and insightful conversation revealing:   How a lack of equity around financial knowledge can create a power differential in a marriage and weaken the relationship. [10:10] Why we replay the financial roles we’ve learned in childhood, bringing those imbalances into our adult relationships until we wake up and understand what we’re doing. [12:00] How she faced her fears around money, and worked to become knowledgeable about finances while also pursuing the education that could give her financial self-reliance.  [18:45] Why she strongly advises those facing divorce to join a divorce support group.
