Parenting coordination is a specialized court-ordered family intervention aimed at reducing high conflict between parents after separation, with the goal of protecting the children and facilitating compliance with judicial measures or parenting plans. This study analyzes its application in Spanish court decisions between 2018 and 2024. A total of 326 judicial decisions were selected from the case law database of the General Council of the Judiciary (CENDOJ). The analysis followed the model of the previous study by Fariña et al. (2017) and the guidelines of the AFCC (Association of Family and Conciliation Courts). In most cases, the coordinator was appointed by the court. The most common objectives were to reduce conflict, improve coparenting, implement parenting plans, and restore parent-child relationships. The main functions included conflict management, supervision of compliance with measures, and psychoeducational support. The conclusion is that parenting coordination is being implemented in Spain in accordance with international guidelines.
