More and more often, legal separations require the substantive intervention of the Court in order to protect the interests of the children. In fact, the international literature shows that exposure to high levels of parental conflict is a risk factor for children. Some markers are proposed of conflict, of risk to the child’s development and of the ability to care for the children's needs, in order to provide judges and operators with support in choosing the most suitable judicial and psychosocial interventions. The advantages and aims of tradition-al interventions (such as technical legal consultation and mediation) and the innovative prac-tice of parental coordination are outlined.
