Making Divorce Pay: The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts takes back -scratching to a new level
By Michael Volpe, Organization Trends, July 2015 (PDF here)
Summary: You’ve probably never heard of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, but its 5,000-plus members are lawyers, judges, and family court professionals who have enormous power in family legal disputes. The group claims to be guided by “the best interest of the child,” but it is beyond dispute that it serves well the financial interests of its members, who are able to require the use of each other’s services and force parents to pay. Members also make use of dubious psychological theories that can do injustice to parents as well as children.
What if George Orwell had written a sequel to Nineteen Eighty-Four called Twenty-Fifteen? In it, nefarious puppeteers use the family court system to usurp decisions traditionally left to parents. They justify infringing parental rights by using noble-sounding phrases like “in the best interest of the child” to take away more and more decision-making authority from parents. Americans’ First, Second, Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights seem certain to be trampled routinely, and the reason given will always be because the decision was “in the best interest of the child.” This group of manipulators is bold and brazen because it knows the media will have no appetite for any story of this kind, but will deem it a case of “he said/she said” and a private matter best left unchronicled. Motivated by profit and sometimes by ideology, these busybodies have figured out that controlling parental decisions is profitable.
Unfortunately, this scenario is not a dystopian society in a science fiction novel; it is the way things really are in the family court system nowadays.
“It’s an American holocaust,” said Susan Skipp. She should know. Though she was the victim of domestic violence, she hasn’t seen either of her two children in nearly three years. The judge and many other players in Skipp’s family court nightmare are all affiliated with the same group: the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC).

Debating Richard Gardner
This new program from Garland Waller, the producer of the award-winning Small Justice: Little Justice in America's Family Courts, is designed to stimulate discussion and to help experts understand the controversy surrounding "Parental Alienation Syndrome," a theory invented by Dr. Richard Gardner that is misleading at best, and dangerous and damaging at worst.The video features an interview with Dr. Gardner, completed a few years before he committed suicide and clips from a television interview program, featuring Waller and Dr. Joy Silberg of The Leadership Council. Cutting back a forth between Gardner and the studio , viewers can see for themselves that Gardner's arguments are not only flawed, but extremely harmful to children and the protective parent, whether mother or father, who has raised the issue of possible sexual abuse.
Small Justice helped to raise awareness of alarming injustices in the family courts that seem ill prepared to handle matters that touch on criminal sexual conduct. This new program will add an important dimension to this on-going problem and hopefully lead to helpful solutions. https://www.intermedia-inc.com/title.asp?sku=DE06&subcatID=25
Locations impacted by discredited parental alienation theory
Excerpts " Background
This story typifies the Parental Alienation Syndrome that is claimed by some psychologists to alienate a child from the other parent. In all these cases it was used to wrongly place children with their abuser and molester. The courts have refused to consider correcting their mistake!
Our point really is that 'experts', who cannot provide factual evidence to support their opinions, have no place in the courtroom. These cases must be decided on the facts presented as evidence and not left to the so-called professionals who profit from their presence in these cases.
The following reports are provided by investigative reporters who have done their homework in looking into these cases. The reports have been published in the national press."

[13] The remedy for violations of canon and law is not to enact different laws.
Excerpts "Proposed Solutions This panel is considering solutions for the seemingly ubiquitous dissatisfaction of litigants unknowingly forced into business dealings with AFCC vendors profiting under color of law. Some suggest that the solution to rampant failure by employees of the judicial branch to abide by existing rules and regulations is enacting additional legislation that requires judges to rule children into shared custody, regardless of a parent's history of violence or ability to care for the child(ren). I believe, however, that our current laws are robust and healthy. I believe that the Connecticut legislature has made sound decisions in enacting reasonable statutes that allow equal protections for citizens of this state. There is an excellent criminal code in place to deal with lawbreakers and regulation violators, and judges currently have sound tools and guidelines at their disposal to correctly determine the best situation for children of divorce. The problem is not one of poor legislation; it is a problem of flagrant violations [24] by judicial branch employees and state vendors, of federal RICO statutes, constitutional rights, federal ADA rights, judicial canon, and professional and ethical canon of medical and mental health professionals. [13] The remedy for violations of canon and law is not to enact different laws. The only sound solution to ending criminal activity is prosecution. The only sound solution to restoring fairness and neutrality to the fact- finding process is to remove the financial incentives that cause outcomes to be determined by funding mandate instead of law, and demanding that rules of evidence must be followed to the letter in all courts of law. The impropriety [3] of judges being joined in trade organizations with the professionals who appear before them must end immediately if we are ever to restore the faith of the citizen in the family court system.

Protecting Psychotherapy Clients From the Shadow of the Law: A Call for the Revision of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) Guidelines for Court-Involved Therapy
Article · January 2015
Abstract
The Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC) published a set of guidelines a few years ago that called for the creation of what appears to be a new type of psychotherapy called “Court-Involved Therapy” (CIT) to substitute for the traditional psychotherapy sought by litigants in family court, though this may not have been the original intent. We posit the AFCC CIT Guidelines have suggested changes to typical psychotherapy practice, or perhaps even created a new form of therapy, that may have the unintended consequence of distracting from the psychotherapist's focus on the client's treatment needs and may result in not meeting the obligations to clients. The authors point out the flaws in the AFCC CIT Guidelines and further suggest that it is not best practices, standard of care, or harmless to clients and litigants to follow all of these guidelines. Finally, 14 suggestions are made for revisions of the proposal.

FAMILY COURT CORRUPTION
by Cindy Ross © July 8, 2002

These behaviors and products are prime-time AFCC. and overall would be Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO), and perhaps may be with, however, the habit of actually legalizing this behavior may compromise it from being prosecuted under RICO. Also, if it were fully explored and prosecuted, as I may just about to show, it would possibly not clean up, but also completely empty out the family law system Justice = Therapy-dispensing monopoly of judges, mediators, certified family law specialist, and all kinds of psychologist, from J.D.-endowed Psy.D.s to the lowly man or woman who paid up the latest AFCC approved parenting coordinator, or mediator, or supervised visitation center training course.
Cleaning up the racketeering element of AFCC might end up shuing down the system, because it is probably (at this point) not possible to separate the private nonprofit association, “Association of Family & Conciliation Courts” from the concept (and practice) of family law, at all. this is such a fixture of our society that people forget it had an origin, and at one time, did not exist. This origin was NOT by public, grassroots demand, but it was (like most oppressive systems) from top-down; by highly placed legislators, judges, and/or others who got a law passed, started practicing, and then expanded.
On the other hand, passive inaction will just send the US economy downhill faster –a situation for which those who’ve been marketing these things will be in a beer position to handle than those they force to consume their products. At least they know how to operate businesses, reduce taxes, and even in some cases do it under the radar, avoiding taxes and dumping the real social needs of society (housing, food, water, the ability to defend ones-self and one’s property — or to own property or assets of any sort) on those already hardest hit.
The RICO link, above, explains how the law began in the 1970s to stop the Mafia, in 1980s was applied to more individual situations, and in the 1990s the federal government sought to restrict this use:
During the 1990’s, the federal courts, guided by the United States Supreme Court, engaged in a concerted effort to limit the scope of RICO in the civil context. As a result of this effort, civil litigants must jump many hurdles and avoid many pitfalls before they can expect the financial windfall available under RICO, and RICO has become one of the most complicated and unpredictable areas of the law.
Today, RICO is almost never applied to the Mafia. Instead, it is applied to individuals, businesses, political protest groups, and terrorist organizations.”
That said, let’s note that two judges in PA were convicted of this, recently — in Luzerne County; “Kids for Cash” scheme. And I cannot think of a better descriptive word, given the powerfully-connected (judges are members) and internet-connected, conference-churning, international, and training-oriented private “nonprofit” organization called “the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts” — particularly when the associated network of nonprofits working with it are considered. Talk about undue influence! People who are subjected to this treatment routinely call it “Mafia” or refer to extortion, which I believe overall, the practices are. Doesn’t that last one sound like extortion (though only for $40, do the math X how many divorces and custody modifications…..)? Why, for example, shouldn’t someone besides Libassi Mediation be able to run a simple Kids First class? And what happened to Dr. Chet? Has he got his own line of business with the county now? hard copy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KqHW8uOMAiWLtEYhDVX8yHdrWEIpNOp8Hy11AvkLtiRbQZl_Ww_CB5lgg5oAWsVONC2jUveRbME3FiPi/view?usp=sharing
