Since the group format is strictly educational it does not interrupt severe alienation. Nor will a Cooperative Parenting group provide any monitoring of parental behaviors. Therefore parental alienation cases are always referred ito parent coordinators. These cases require a specific focus. The educational material is still required reading for these parents, but a wise Parent Coordinator will not expect that the material be necessarily integrated into the parents daily living.
Lower expectations are also necessary in terms of the co-parent relationship.
