Court-Ordered Parent Coaching in Colorado

What Is Court-Mandated Parent Coaching?

In some custody cases, divorce proceedings, or high-conflict parenting situations, a judge or Child and Family Investigator (CFI) may recommend or require parent coaching.

This can happen when:

• A court orders parent coaching as part of a parenting plan
• A CFI recommends coaching to improve parenting skills or communication
• Attorneys suggest coaching to strengthen a parent’s position in court
• A parent is working to regain or expand parenting time
• Co-parents are struggling with high conflict and need structured support

In these cases, the goal of coaching is not punishment.

The goal is to help parents build the skills courts want to see: emotional regulation, healthy boundaries, effective communication, and child-centered decision making.

How Parent Coaching Supports Legal Requirements

When coaching is connected to legal proceedings, the process is more structured than traditional coaching.

Together we focus on:

• Strengthening authoritative parenting skills
• Improving co-parenting communication
• Managing conflict in high-stress parenting situations
• Learning tools from Love and Logic® parenting principles
• Building emotional regulation and decision-making under pressure
• Creating stability and consistency for your child

Who This Is For

This work is designed for parents who are:

• Navigating high-conflict divorce or custody cases
• Working with a Child and Family Investigator (CFI)
• Completing court-ordered parenting coaching
• Addressing parenting concerns raised during legal proceedings
• Seeking support to improve co-parenting dynamics

Many parents come into this process feeling judged, defensive, or unsure of how to move forward.

My role is not to shame you.

My role is to help you build the stability, clarity, and leadership your child needs — and that courts expect to see.

I’ve spent more than a decade working with parents who want to create real change in their families — not just temporary behavior fixes.

I’m also a mom of four, which means I understand parenting from both sides: the theory and the reality. I’ve lived the chaos, the repair conversations, the power struggles, and the moments where you wonder if you’re doing any of this right.

That lived experience is part of what shapes my work.

I’ve been working with parents for over a decade and am a certified Love and Logic® independent facilitator trained in authoritative parenting approaches.

My coaching integrates practical parenting tools with deeper work around emotional regulation, communication, and leadership inside the family system.

I work with everyday parents navigating common family challenges, as well as those facing more complex situations such as:

• Court-mandated parenting support
• High-conflict co-parenting dynamics
• Legal family systems and custody proceedings
• CFI recommendations and court-involved parenting plans

In these situations, the goal is not just to satisfy a requirement — it’s to help parents build the skills and stability that courts are looking for while creating a healthier environment for their children.

Clients often describe my coaching style as:

Direct.
Grounded.
Compassionate.
Focused on real change.

I won’t shame you, and I won’t sugarcoat things either.

My role is to help you strengthen your parenting leadership, navigate difficult dynamics, and move forward with clarity — especially in situations that feel overwhelming or high-stakes.
