Parenting time expeditor

A parenting time expeditor is an individual who is named in a court order to provide assistance to parents by enforcing, interpreting, clarifying and addressing circumstances not specifically addressed by an existing parenting time order. If necessary the parenting time expeditor (PTE) can determine when an existing parenting time order has been violated. The laws governing the obligations and duties of the parenting time expeditor are set forth under the law at 518.1751

Generally, the parenting time expeditor is advised by each parent regarding the issue and then the PTE will make a determination of what will take place or whether the order was violated.

The work of a parenting consultant incorporates the work of a parenting time expeditor. However, the parenting consultant has a broader range of tools available to assist the parents. The role of a PTE is limited by law. Parenting time expeditors are paid by the parties.
