(Free-Press-Release.com) August 31, 2009 --

The National Cooperative Parenting Center has scheduled it’s first of several 24 hour trainings on Parenting Coordination in West Palm Beach, Florida, November 12-14, 2009. These Parenting Coordination workshops meet the parenting coordination training requirement established by the new Florida Statute 61.125(4)(a)(2)(c) scheduled to go in effect October 1, 2009. “This legislation has been a long time in the making,” states Dr. Debra K. Carter, National Cooperative Parenting Center Director. “This has been a real team effort between the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar, the Florida Chapter of AFCC, the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the Florida Psychological Association, and other stakeholders. It is gratifying to see that the cooperative effort by these professionals has resulted in legislation offering an alternative dispute resolution option for those experiencing parental separation and/or divorce, and affords a new measure of protection, support, and advocacy for the children involved.”

The National Cooperative Training Center has scheduled a second Parent Coordination Training program for Orlando, Florida, May 13-15, 2010. In addition, a four hour Florida Family Law Update training is scheduled for March 5, 2010 in Tampa, Florida.
