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.
