What It Shows
It shows a checklist-derived profile of coparenting problem areas and severity, with longitudinal comparison only when comparable repeat administrations exist.
Important Limits
The tool does not generate diagnoses, causal explanations, legal or custody details, relationship history, or parenting strategy recommendations.
Can practitioners edit the checklist items?
No. The checklist items, response anchors, scoring, and severity labels are fixed by the instrument definition once supplied.
Does this replace a general relationship assessment?
No. It is limited to parenting-related coparenting disagreement or coordination problems in a two-parent family context.
Can results be compared over time?
Yes. Results can be compared when repeated administrations use the same checklist structure and scoring basis.
What happens if only one caregiver responds?
The result shows whose report is present and avoids implying a complete dyadic picture unless the instrument supports that use.
