Initiatives informing the work of practitioners
The AFCC Center for Excellence in Family Court Practice is home to initiatives undertaken by task forces and collaborative endeavors. These interdisciplinary initiatives include practice guidelines and model standards, consulting and inter-organizational collaborations that address research, practice and policy related to family courts, family law and dispute resolution.
CEFCP initiatives focus on the challenges and controversies that family court practitioners and policymakers must address, providing the latest research, ideas and practices from the leading professionals in the field.
The Center for Excellence has published a number of documents developed by Center Task Forces, including
AFCC and NCJFCJ Joint Statement on Parent-Child Contact Problems
