delaying child rotation when parent rotates

Ok what i have in mind is that, i have a child object in this parent object called Parent. I was wondering if it's possible when

after trigger, the parent rotate (so if he is facing front(360 or 0) then he rotate to left(270 or -90)(if i get the degree correct)
after that happens, normally the child will automatically rotate with the parent and still retain it's local rotation. (it's global rotation changes so imagine when parent rotates, the child appears to be rotating while looking at the camera(or origin or anywhere it's looking)(like super mario bros world if i am not mistaken)

so here's the problem, i have no idea how to delay child's global rotation after parent rotate. Any suggestion?

If you don't want a child to directly follow it's parent's transform, don't use transform parenting. Use your own smooth-follow type script.
