My first experience with a meeting between Judge Shelton, my Ex-husband and I was rough as my Ex had prior to our meeting provided faulty information to Judge Sheldon. But after that meeting, when I could provide proof of what really was going on and the Ex only had “he said, she said” Judge Sheldon figured it out pretty quickly and was on top of it. I wish he could of continued on our case as he is and was desperately needed. He was fair and really a God send. He was quick to help dissolve conflict and wasn’t afraid to let either party know they were out of line. I had my doubts after my first meeting, but seeing him in action with facts, I would of hired him again and again. I actually tried but the other party didn’t agree and it has been hell since he left our case. Thank you Judge Sheldon for doing an awesome job for the time you worked on our case.

I personally think he gave us a chance to co parent numerous times but when the childs father would not budge he had to make a decision . I used him as my parent cordinater a few yrs back and may have to hire him again. If only us as parents could co parent it would be in the best interest for the child.Mr. Sheldon has worked for numerous yrs so you have to give him credit and family law is a mess. I would use him again.

Until a name was given to the trip of abuse I and my children suffered, I had no way to really get help. Judge Sheldon read everything I brought him, he truly listens and was able to see through the many layers that constitute the Personality a disorder my ex suffers and thus, the spacific crazy-making abuse that never stops, even after years of divorce. I highly recommend Jusge Steven Sheldon if you ex refuses to allow you to disengage from that cycle of abuse you thought you were going I escape with the divorce. He is fair, honest, and knows how these guys target you and what it does to your children. There is hope!

I am not sure what happened in those other cases - but mine went very smoothly. Judge Sheldon was and still is my parenting coordinator. He called both of us out on our crap - and made very well explained recommendations. I did not necessarily like all the recommendations and rules - but who does? I would rather have him help me with my issues then have to face my ex alone. I believe he is very sensitive to domestic violence issues and that was helpful.

Sheldon failed to actually review important documents/ make any attempt to validate the truth from the other parent prior to sending recommendactions to the judge. He copied and pasted incorrect information in his recommendations and did a poor job overall. Gratefully his recommendations were not adopted and he was dismissed from the case.

I doubted the reviews because I wanted to give him a chance but they were all true. He took over 4 months to deal with my complaint and instantly replied to fathers. He has no business making decisions about children's lives. He has done nothing for my kids.

I agree with the other negative reviews. Follow through is terrible. Many emails go unanswered. No report for months even with asking for follow up. Then report finally comes back full of incorrect information, including ams of child from a different client that was copy and pasted from another clients report. I informed him of the corrections that needed to be made. heard nothing back, no report ever filed. I was so happy when his term expired. I think PC's could have an important roll in high conflict "co-parenting" situations. That won't be the case with SDS

Steve Sheldon was hired as a parenting coordinator in my case. I wrote to them my concerns, asking to set up an appointment. An appointment was set, but cancelled. They refused to work with me on a payment plan, even not returning my calls. After reading the other reviews, I can see that Steve Sheldon would not have been good in my case because my children's father is an abuser who does things wrong and continues to get away with things. Now I see why Judge Kemp and Judge Brotherton appointed Steve Sheldon as PC....they and others in my case also sided with my abusive ex, even when we proved my ex lying in court. Do not hire Steve Sheldon!

Steve was appointed as my parenting coordinator Issues 1. He charges 400 retainer from both parents and the parents have to pay or he threatens to report to judge. Going to a PC should be no more than 150 a visit. He is abusing parents because he knows we have no choice but to pay 2. He was a judge for many years which means he is friends with them. He will uphold any decision the judge order. 3. He is completely biased. He favors fathers. So even if they are breaking the court order he will basically condone it. Ex our court order says no intoxication around daughter. He said well it's okay if it's a family function. If father is making derogatory comments to child or mother he will leave that out of the report. 4. He sent us to see Muriel S. McClellan, Ph.D. Whom also charged 400 each parent. She met with each parent separately and the child for 2 hours. The child's wishes and what the child shared for 2 hours were completely omitted which included emotional abuse she is receiving from father. 5. Steve's report to the judge completely ignored fathers non compliance with court order and child's 16 out reach and her 2 hour interview and instead making mother look bad fir reporting court order violations and concern for child Parenting coordinators could care less about the best interest of the child.
