Terms of Appointment. 10.1 The parenting coordinator is appointed until discharged by the court. The parenting coordinator may apply directly to the court for a discharge and shall provide the parties and counsel with notice of the application for discharge. The court may discharge the parenting coordinator without a hearing unless either party requests a hearing in writing within 10 days on the application for discharge. 10.2 Either party may seek to suspend or terminate the parenting coordination process by filing a motion with the court. The parenting coordinator's services may not be terminated by either of the parties without order of the court. 10.3 In the event that the parenting coordinator is discharged, the court will furnish a copy of the termination to the parenting coordinator and the parties. 11. Reservation of Jurisdiction or Incorporation of Negotiated or Agreed Matters into Enforceable Court Orders. One of the goals of the parenting coordinator is to encourage parties to harmoniously resolve shared parenting issues without the need fo r court intervention. The parties may desire, however, to memorialize an agreement and have it ratified and approved by court order. There may be occasions when the parties deem it prudent to have a negotiated or agreed matter memorialized in an enforceable court order. The parties, or their counsel if they are represented, may accomplish this by filing a stipulation signed by both parties and a proposed order. In that instance, the court will determine whether a hearing is required. This court specifically reserves jurisdiction to enforce the terms and conditions of this Order and to modify same according to law.

Judge Alijewicz requires every motion for attorney's fees and/or costs to attach a document detailing time records — no records, no fee award.
Judge Corlew bars informal contact: every communication with the Court must be in writing, filed with the Clerk, with copies furnished to all parties — and no calls to the JA to schedule or cancel UMC.
