The False Promise of Parenting Coordination
In a three-part series in The Matrimonial Strategist (appearing in March, 2006, June, 2006, and March, 2007), Curtis Romanowski, a member of this newsletter's Board of Editors, described and promoted parenting coordination 'as a means for dealing with high conflict families involved in domestic relations proceedings before courts.' I applaud the efforts of those who have devoted significant time, energy, and, in some cases, funds, to trying to find ways in which to assist families in the difficult process of post-divorce adjustment, but parenting coordination has drawbacks that must be constructively addressed.
In the opening of his first article, Romanowski alludes to parents who have 'serious difficulty making important joint decisions' and opines that they 'could well benefit from assistance coordinating their parenting efforts.' An unarticulated assumption is being made: specifically, that where there is high post-divorce conflict, it is in the best interests of children that their parents share decision-making authority. I question that assumption.

Coverage Issues Stemming from Dry Cleaner Contamination Suits
In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc.
