WHY TAKE THE CLASS HERE?

Learn from a retired magistrate, Supreme Court of Virginia certified mediator, co-parenting educator, and former therapeutic foster parent with extensive experience in family conflict and Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court matters.

​

This is NOT a boring prerecorded class.

 

Topics include:

• What behaviors help or hurt your position in court

• Common mistakes parents make in contested custody cases

• How judges often view communication and co-parenting behavior

• Strategies for reducing conflict and improving communication

• How conflict affects children emotionally and developmentally

• Practical tips for handling difficult interactions with the other parent

• Ways to present yourself as child-focused and cooperative

• Even if you do not currently have a pending court case, the class can help you better understand co-parenting dynamics and avoid unnecessary conflict moving forward.
