From Adam B. Cordover, Esq.:
A collaborative facilitator is a specially trained professional who has various different roles in the collaborative process, and is available to both clients to:
- Identify and prioritize clients’ concerns;
- Help develop co-parenting skills;
- Help the clients focus on the needs of the children;
- Develop conflict resolution skills that can be used both during the collaborative process and after the divorce is finalized;
- Enhance communication skills;
- Reduce misunderstandings;
- Assist in focus on working towards resolution; and
- Perform any other activity agreed upon by the collaborative team.
Around the country, the collaborative facilitator is variously referred to as a communication specialist, mental health professional, coach, or child specialist.
