Cooperative Parenting is supposed to be a win-win solution for parent?s in high conflict divorces. What it?s not suppose to be ?couples counseling? for victims who have endured years of domestic violence.\r
\r
In Texas there are no Standards of Practice for Parent Coordinators and no accountability - so clients are extremely vulnerable. There is absolutely no Texas law that states that Cooperative Parenting is not counseling. Even so a Parent Coordinator is to be neutral and unbiased, yet there are no checks and balances. Courts do not monitor the actions of Parent Coordinators and many attorneys are clueless as to the role of the Parent Coordinator.\r

Now for the experts: \r
\r
Family Law attorney William Chennault in a letter to opposing counsel was very explicit with his concerns of Robin Walton when he wrote, ?I have no experience with her other than the very adverse and one sided testimony, which I do not feel was fair or accurate.?\r
\r
Judith Powel Chairwoman of the Counselors and Examiners Board stated, ?No other licensee comes anywhere near the number of complaints you have and that must send a red flag.?\r
\r
Never would you ask a victim of assault to participate in ?couples counseling? with their attacker and that?s exactly what is being forced upon victims of domestic violence who have to attend therapy sessions with their violent attackers.\r
\r
Finaly any profesional who is willing to post a revew and demean a past client is questionable.
Pros: Robin Walton had brought to light the problems with PC
Cons: Any one who's goes by diva divorce in not a proffesional
