Most uncoupled parents encounter parenting issues that they did not think about or that were not relevant when the parenting order was issued. Having a PC or PTE appointed can result in a quicker resolution of those issues at much less cost. There are usually no attorneys involved in the PC or PTE process and a decision is issued by the PC or PTE within a few days after all necessary information is received. Without a PC or PTE, parties may wait several weeks for their Court hearing and another two or three months for a Court to issue a decision; in the meantime, the conflict is ongoing and the issue remains unresolved.
