WELCOME! Stepfamily Systems Co-Parenting Center (#SFSys ) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit where an increasing number of parents and stepparents are turning for non-court support.
Our cause?
Co-parenting and stepfamily stabilization. Why? It is a key factor for the adjustment of children and adults after divorce or when a parent has re-married.
Why we exist: Litigation and mental health services have not been enough to curb the dissolution rate of second marriages with children from previous unions. Litigation is a win-lose setting where parents dig up and throw dirt; how, then, can they expect to co-parent in a friendly manner? For reasons of their own, many will not see a family/individual therapist. In the eyes of some, wedding-bells transition a temporary issue of girlfriend/boyfriend influences into a permanent problem to be eliminated. And the reasons go on ...
Now there is a simple, accessible, non-court support option to fill the gap between no-care and traditional services. We serve as a stand-alone option as well as a bridge to other professional care. Clients choose.
SIMPLE:
Court often increases tension between the households co-raising kids. Judges sign orders but the heart can't be legislated.
Our model-driven support will help parents and stepparents avoid the high emotional and financial costs of chronic litigation. Sometimes, second marriages crumble and parents lose the very relationships with the children and new spouse because of court over-use and a lack of co-parenting and step/blended-family stabilization.
ACCESSIBLE:
You receive an initial consultation at no-cost. That's just the beginning. While going through the empowering, planning process clients have designated client E-mail and special, website portal in addition to our SFSys' ACES-certified co-parenting & stepfamily strategist. When the four-week planning process ends, it puts a well-designed, go-to partner in your home 24/7.
If you will make a genuine commitment to the process, you will position yourself for greater personal and family satisfaction, and well-being.
