Visitation Enforcement Workshop at Oak Park, IL., Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 7:00 to 8:30 pm
A very engaging workshop for parents on dealing effectively with law enforcement over visitation interference situations. Free "how to" materials provided to participants at the workshop, led by an experienced police trainer attorney, with prior experience in Visitation Interference law. (note: This workshop was not for commercial purposes. It was offered purely as a community service.)
Parental Alienation Awareness Organization organized a conference on Parental Alienation in Chicago, May 21, 2011, 9:00 to 3:00pm. This conference was incredibly helpful! Many parents attending learned improved ways to recognize and cope with Parental Alienation. Parental Alienation Awareness Day, April 25, 2011. CRC-IL activists interviewed on WJBC radio, The VOICE of Central Illinois --- http://wjbc.com/groups-raising-awareness-of-parental-alienation/ Visitation Interference Workshops - Three previous workshops held in the Chicago area, February through April, 2011. Led by an experienced police trainer in the area of UVI, these very engaging sessions helped parents deal more effectively with enforcement of their children's access to them. Parents report these workshops to have been well worth their time. We have directly met, corresponded, and conferenced with numerous divorce professionals across Illinois on policy issues over the past four and a half years. We have helped advance legislation of benefit to children of divorce, such as, SB2933 "Integrative Family Therapy" and HB1604 “Visitation Interference”. Our direct recommendations to the Illinois Family Law Study Committee in 2009 and 2010 for statewide "Parenting Time" minimum guidelines,, Required Parenting Plans, and other reforms, as well as our previous representation on the Chicago Bar Association's family law subcommittee in 2007 and 2008, has influenced the debate over family law and judicial protocols. We sincerely believe that our recommendations for reforming Illinois judicial protocols and expansion of public programs will enhance the willingness and ability of divorcing parents to "put the kids first".
