Separated parents. High-conflict co-parents. Fathers working to stay involved. Professionals who refer families in need. If you’re navigating co-parenting after separation or you work with people who are TPP was designed for you.
TPP was built to serve families navigating separation at every stage of the conflict spectrum from parents who just need structure to those in crisis. We also serve the attorneys, counselors, mediators, and social workers who refer them.
Recently separated or divorced parents who want to co-parent effectively without letting the legal system define their relationship. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from structure.
If every exchange is a battle, every text is a threat, and every conversation becomes evidence TPP is designed specifically for families where communication has broken down completely.
Fathers who want to stay involved but feel the system is working against them. Whether you're navigating a difficult co-parent, seeking equitable custody, or fighting to stay in your child's life — TPP advocates for your role.
Attorneys, mediators, counselors, school counselors, social workers, and healthcare providers who regularly work with separated families and want a structured co-parenting support option to refer clients to.
Separation is one of the most disorienting experiences a parent can go through. Even when the decision was mutual, even when both parents are committed to doing right by their children, the logistics of building two separate households while co-parenting a child together are genuinely hard.
TPP is for parents at the beginning of that journey before resentment has calcified into conflict, before the courts have become the default forum for every disagreement, before the children have absorbed the tension. The earlier families engage with structured support, the less it costs financially, emotionally, and relationally to get to a stable place.
"We weren't enemies. We just didn't know how to stop talking about the past long enough to plan for our kids' future."

High-conflict co-parenting isn't just stressful. It is actively harmful to children who are caught in the middle, to parents whose lives contract around the ongoing fight, and to the finances and emotional health of everyone involved. Research is unambiguous: children in high-conflict post-separation households experience measurably worse educational, emotional, and social outcomes than those in stable ones.
TPP's recorded call model is specifically designed for families where direct communication has become weaponized. By shifting co-parent conversations to a structured, recorded, and counselor-reviewed format, TPP removes the conditions that make conflict escalate — and creates the accountability structure that allows trust to rebuild slowly, over time.
TPP intervenes at Levels 2–4 before litigation becomes necessary. Most programs only engage at Level 5 or 6.
The research is clear: father involvement significantly improves children's cognitive, emotional, social, and physical outcomes. A landmark synthesis of 150 studies found that involved fathers produce measurably better outcomes across every dimension of child wellbeing yet adversarial separation systems routinely diminish fathers' roles, not out of malice, but because they are built for adjudication rather than family restoration.
TPP is explicitly built to counter that dynamic. Our program does not assume one parent is the problem. It starts from the premise that both parents have a right to meaningful involvement in their child's life and that the child has a right to both of them. For fathers who feel sidelined, excluded, or fighting an uphill battle just to stay present, TPP provides the structured communication framework that makes equitable involvement possible.
"Father involvement boosts cognitive, emotional, social, and physical outcomes and reduces negative outcomes across the board."
Allen & Daly (2007), synthesis of 150 studies on father involvement and child outcomes
If you work with separated families professionally as an attorney, mediator, counselor, social worker, school counselor, or healthcare provider you already know that the co-parenting relationship is often the variable that determines whether your work succeeds or stalls.
TPP helps parents resolve communication dysfunction outside the courtroom reducing the emotional escalation that drives unnecessary litigation and making legal processes more efficient when they are required.
Parents who arrive at mediation emotionally escalated, poorly organized, and unable to communicate produce worse outcomes. TPP helps parents arrive calmer, with clearer positions and stronger capacity for structured negotiation.
Individual therapy addresses the emotional experience of separation but rarely the operational co-parenting relationship. TPP complements clinical work by addressing the structural communication failures that impact a client's stability outside sessions.
Children's performance and emotional wellbeing in school are directly affected by the stability of the co-parenting environment at home. When you see a student struggling due to family conflict, TPP can address the source.
Parental conflict destabilizes the health environments that children depend on. Inconsistent medication, missed appointments, competing healthcare decisions these are symptoms of communication failure that TPP directly addresses.
TPP functions as a preventive, court-adjacent stabilization model reducing the communication failures that generate repeated filings, enforcement actions, and modification hearings. We work upstream so courts don't have to.
Ready to discuss a referral partnership? We keep it simple no exclusivity, no fees, consent-based referrals, and clear role boundaries.
These are the four family profiles that represent the range of people TPP serves. The details are composites but the situations are real.
34, skilled trades, San Antonio. Separated 2 years ago. Has one son, age 6. Wants to stay involved but limited contact due to past conflict. Feels alienated by the court system and doesn't know how to rebuild the communication.
29, retail, Houston. Recently divorced, two kids ages 4 and 8. Financial instability, juggling childcare and work. Needs help establishing consistent parenting rules with her ex and accessing support services.
41 & 39, dual-income, Austin. Two kids ages 10 and 13. They want shared custody but lack a conflict resolution structure. Scheduling and educational disagreements keep escalating despite both wanting to cooperate.
22, service industry, Dallas. Unmarried, one daughter age 2. Minimal co-parenting experience, unstable housing, strained communication with the father who is inconsistently involved. Needs structure and services simultaneously.
These are the numbers behind the families TPP serves and the evidence that early, structured intervention changes outcomes.
You don't need to know exactly where you are in the conflict spectrum or whether TPP is the right fit before reaching out. The assessment is designed to help us understand your situation and help you understand what structured support would actually look like for your family.
The intake assessment is a structured conversation — not a test. There are no right or wrong answers. It's designed to give our counselors a clear picture of your co-parenting situation so they can recommend the right program track and support level.
TPP requires both co-parents to participate. If one parent is unwilling to engage, we can discuss options during the consultation.
