Abstract: | Coparent counseling is a method of helping moderate- and high-conflict divorced or separated parents improve their shared caretaking of their children. Because it is a relatively new modality, its practitioners face ambiguity and uncertainty in their efforts to practice ethically. In the present article, information and recommendations are provided regarding confidentiality, separate meetings with parents, interactions with attorneys and the court, meetings with the children, insurance billing, competence, and informed consent. |
