Guardian ad Litem
A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) serves as an independent investigator and advocate appointed to provide the Court with objective information and recommendations regarding the best interests of a child. Kimberly Martin brings experience conducting interviews, reviewing medical, educational, and court records, collaborating with multidisciplinary professionals, and preparing recommendations in complex family law and child-related matters. Particular expertise includes medically complex, neurodivergent, and special-needs children, as well as high-conflict parenting disputes and family systems. She has worked in both King County and Snohomish County.
Parenting Coordination
Parenting Coordination helps parents reduce conflict, improve communication, and implement parenting plans more effectively. As a neutral professional, Harvard certified negotiator, Kimberly works with parents to address ongoing disputes related to scheduling, communication, decision-making, medical needs, educational concerns, and co-parenting challenges.
Crossroad Advisory offers particular expertise supporting families of medically intensive, neurodivergent, and special-needs children, where disagreements may involve treatment decisions, therapies, educational planning, caregiving responsibilities, accommodations, or coordination among providers. The goal is to help parents focus on practical solutions that support their child’s long-term well-being while reducing the impact of conflict on children.
Parenting Coordination is typically regularly scheduled zoom sessions between parents and Kimberly with a commitment from both parents to use the time constructively to break through decisions that need to be made in the best interest of the child(ren) with a neutral party mediating. This can be expanded at the parents request and court order agreement to have Kimberly help in those decisions when at standstill in order to avoid court and costly lawyer involvement and fees. Parenting coordinators are especially valuable for complex family situations or special needs families where many important decisions are needed continually.
Complex Family Mediation & Consulting
Family mediation helps families navigate conflict, parenting challenges, and major life transitions in a respectful and constructive way. As a neutral facilitator, Kimberly Martin guides conversations, helps identify areas of agreement, and supports families in developing practical solutions that place children at the center of decision-making.
With specialized experience serving medically intensive, neurodivergent, and special-needs children and their families, Crossroads helps parents navigate complex issues involving parenting plans, healthcare decisions, educational needs, communication challenges, and co-parenting relationships. Particular expertise includes supporting high-conflict parents and families experiencing persistent disagreements regarding parenting, communication, medical care, educational decisions, and child-focused problem solving.
Families caring for children with complex medical, developmental, or behavioral needs often face decisions with significant consequences for their child’s health, education, and long-term well-being. These higher stakes can create additional stress, uncertainty, and conflict—even among parents who share the same goals for their child. Through a structured and collaborative process, mediation provides a space for parents to work through difficult decisions, improve communication, and develop practical agreements that support both their child and their family.
The goal is to help families move forward with greater clarity, stability, and confidence while reducing the emotional and financial costs often associated with litigation..
