Charlottesville Divorce Lawyer Rob Hagy: Parenting Coordinators Eliminated.

In May of 2013, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court adopted a rule of civil procedure eliminating parenting coordinators because the appointment of such individuals to make decisions or  recommendations or alter a custody order in child custody cases constituted an improper delegation of judicial decision making authority.  View the law.com article here for the complete story. 

There may be room for a similar argument to be made in Virginia.  Occasionally judges will permit guardians ad litem to set visitation schedules while cases are pending.  This also seems to be an improper delegation of judicial decision making authority.
