The Parenting Coordination Task Force is an interdisciplinary ad hoc committee that arose as an offshoot of the Commission of Justice Initiatives/Changing the Culture of Custody Committee. The task force consists of judges, family law attorneys, court administrators and psychologists from across the state. Its mission is to research and implement a protocol for the utilization in Pennsylvania of the process known as parenting coordination in exceptionally high conflict child custody cases. The PC Task Force has been working to produce a model Order of Court and Proposed Rule of Civil Procedure on parenting coordination so that if approved, the procedures will be unified throughout the Commonwealth.
Recognized as an expert in her field, Ann Marie Termini, Ed.S., M.S.,LPC, has offered parenting coordination training since 1997. She offers training in Pennsylvania twice a year. Ann Marie is co-author of "The Psychotherapist as Parent Coordinator in High-Conflict Divorce: Strategies and Techniques". In October 2009, Robin Deutsch, nationally acclaimed trainer offered the first training in central Pennsylvania.
