(PA) other parent wants to use a co-parenting therapist to change existing parental plan
The other parent is fighting my modification request. Kids are all above 8yrs old. We are basically parallel parenting with 50/50.
We have a modification hearing in September because I’ve asked her to change from 2-2-5-5 to week on / week off.
She’s refusing.
Now she’s asking us to use a “co-parent counselor” to “avoid court”.
My attorney said the counselor she selected is well known and respected and that i would look bad to refuse to participate at all (but it is my right and I can veto the therapist)
I just.. idk I feel like she’s doing this cause it’s pretty obvious that 2-2-5 isn’t working (we fight all the time) and this is her “last shot” at getting someone else to weigh in and stop it.
I have a meeting to discuss some concerns with the therapist next week but my ex shared examples of “a new parental plan” which spells out “bed time routines” and seems to place way more rules or requirements than our existing agreement.
Oh which… I’m perfectly happy with except the 2-2-5-5.
Anyone have experience with co-parent counseling?
Doesn’t this sound like a setup?
