Can a parenting coordinator be retained to make determinations about counselling and counselling?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from K.B. v. J.B., 2015 BCSC 2217 (CanLII):
I recognize that these orders require hiring multiple third-party professionals and will give rise to various costs. I do not consider that separate individuals need be retained for each such role, particularly as it relates to those professionals who would assist the parties as opposed to their children. It may well be that they can find individuals whose skill sets will serve the different objectives contemplated by these orders. I note that in Odgers v. Odgers, 2014 BCSC 717, at para. 40, the court considered that the authority of a parenting coordinator extended to making determinations about counselling and coaching.
