Parenting Together, Separately
If you're navigating co-parenting after a separation or divorce, you know it’s not always smooth. Even if the relationship ended, your shared responsibility continues. And communication? That can be the hardest part.

Where Mediation Comes In
Mediation creates a neutral ground to:
Clarify expectations around parenting time
Establish boundaries for communication
Build a parenting plan that serves your children—not just your calendar
It gives both parents a voice—so decisions are made with care, not conflict.
Common Co-Parenting Issues Mediation Helps With:
Holidays and special events
School decisions and schedules
Drop-offs, pickups, and logistics
New partner introductions
Long-distance moves
Maryam’s Approach
As both a mediator and a certified relationship systems coach, I approach co-parenting with empathy and structure. The goal isn’t just an agreement—it’s a smoother road ahead for everyone, especially the kids.
