It's not Maryland; this is in Pennsylvania.
Got it! Here's a revised explanation tailored for Pennsylvania:
"In Pennsylvania family law, a parenting coordinator is a neutral third party appointed by the court to assist co-parents in high conflict custody cases. The coordinator helps improve communication and decision-making, always prioritizing the child's best interests."
Feel free to adjust it as needed!

Feel free to adjust it as needed!
Okay, I adjusted it just a bit. The one phrase I feel may be too harsh (even though it's true) is the term high-conflict. Here is what I have: What is a Parenting Coordinator? In Pennsylvania family law, a parenting coordinator is a neutral third party appointed by the court to assist co-parents in high conflict custody cases. The coordinator helps improve communication and decision-making, with the focus of prioritizing the child's best interests.
It sounds like you're trying to convey the role of a parenting coordinator in a gentle way. You might consider using the term "challenging custody cases" instead of "high conflict," as it can soften the tone. Here's a possible revision:
"In Pennsylvania family law, a parenting coordinator is a neutral third party appointed by the court to assist co-parents in challenging custody cases. The coordinator helps improve communication and decision-making, focusing on the child's best interests."
Let me know if you need any more adjustments!

You are correct that I don't want to point out that the cases are usually high conflict by the time we get them. I do want a more neutral term. I'm not crazy about the word "challenging", as it too sounds a bit judgmental and confrontational.

For a softer approach, consider using "complex custody cases." Here's a revised explanation:
"In Pennsylvania family law, a parenting coordinator is a neutral third party appointed by the court to assist co-parents in complex custody cases. The coordinator helps improve communication and decision-making, focusing on the child's best interests."
Feel free to tweak it further!

Complex is more in the right direction. What other synonyms might you have?
Certainly! Here are some synonyms that might suit your needs:
- Intricate custody cases
- Sensitive custody cases
- Multifaceted custody cases
- Detailed custody cases
These terms aim to convey complexity without sounding harsh or confrontational. Let me know if any of these work for you!

I like intricate, sensitive and mutifaceted. Wondering if there is a word whose meaning conveys all three?
A word that encapsulates "intricate," "sensitive," and "multifaceted" is "nuanced." It suggests complexity and depth while maintaining a gentle tone. You might consider using it in your context to reflect the delicate nature of the cases you handle.
I am smiling. I really like "nuanced".

I'm glad you found the right word! "Nuanced" does indeed capture the essence of intricate, sensitive, and multifaceted issues. If you need any more assistance or have questions related to legal matters, feel free to ask!

"Nuanced and complex" is a good choice for conveying depth and sensitivity in your explanation. It maintains a gentle tone while acknowledging the intricacies involved. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask!

I tell you what I like about it. I think it might make the parents feel like they are special and that's why they are being assigned a parenting coordinator. I don't want them to feel like they're being sent to the principal's office, LOL.

Okay, so I really like that. Now, in emails for mediation, I use a quote by Albert Einstein about challenges meaning opportunity. I'd like some sort of inspirational quote for my parenting coordinator email, but I don't think the Einstein quote is quite right for this situation. Any ideas for a quote that might be appropriate in this situation?
Certainly! Here's an inspirational quote that might suit your parenting coordinator email:
*"The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice."* — Peggy O'Mara
This quote emphasizes the importance of communication and nurturing, aligning well with the role of a parenting coordinator.

Sorry to be difficult, but it's important to me that it be the right message. If it helps any, I like to think of myself as the "spa" attorney in that, while divorce and custody can be very ugly and stressful, I like to do as much as I can to make the process as smooth as possible and with outcomes that work well for everyone, but especially the children.

No worries! Crafting the right message is important. Considering your approach as a "spa" attorney, how about this quote:
*"Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile, and start again."*
This emphasizes a fresh start and a positive outlook, aligning well with your approach. Let me know what you think!

Okay, this might sound silly. But, maybe there is a Winnie-the-Pooh quote that might be good here?

I think that's really beautiful. Did Winnie the Pooh say that or one of the other characters?
The quote "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" is indeed attributed to Christopher Robin, a character from A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories. It's a wonderful choice for conveying encouragement and support!
I'm looking at the quote at the bottom of the email, and it's feeling a little childish to me. Maybe we should try something else?

The quote "Peace is not the absence of chaos, but the presence of tranquility within it" is often cited as a Zen-inspired saying but doesn't have a specific attributable author. It's a conceptual expression that captures the essence of finding peace amidst life's challenges.

May it will help, if I give you the quote I use in Mediation, which is: In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

Albert Einstein's quote, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity," is excellent for mediation as it suggests positive outcomes from challenging situations.

I'm sorry. I feel like I'm being difficult. I want a quote that addresses the parents but puts the focus on the children, if that makes any sense at all. That's why I really liked the A.A. Milne quote. Maybe I should reconsider that one.

Hmmm. Some of these quotes are starting to sound like a lecture to me, rather than an uplifting and inspiring message. The thing I like about the Einstein quote is that it's very nonjudgmental while it inspires you to keep an open mind. I just don't think it's the perfect quote for parenting coordinator situation. Whereas Mediation is usually a one-time meeting, the parenting coordinator relationship lasts for 12 months. So you kind of build a relationship with the parents, even though you are maintaining third-party objectivity.
