AFCC | Association of Family and Conciliation Courts

Professional Training and CoachingUnited States11-50 Employees

AFCC is the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts—an interdisciplinary, international association of professionals dedicated to the resolution of family conflict.

AFCC members all share in an impressive legacy passed down from its founding members and the many others who have served AFCC with fierce dedication. From a small group of court counselors and judges, AFCC has grown to a robust association of more than 5,000 members representing more than a dozen disciplines in 24 countries.

In the future, AFCC members will continue to lead the field. The agenda has changed from reconciliation in the 1960s, to divorce with dignity in the 1970s, to mediation in the 1980s, to working with high conflict and violent families in the 1990s, to shared parenting in the 2000s—always reflecting the diversity and complexity of contemporary families. Unrepresented litigants, same-sex parents, never-married parents, dependency mediation, intimate partner violence, parenting coordination, custody evaluations, non-residential parents, relocation, alienated children and family preservation are among the present and future challenges for AFCC members.

Looking back over six decades, although the issues facing families and professionals may change, one thing remains constant: AFCC members continue to share an impressive commitment to families and children cultivated by the founders of the association and instilled in its members and leadership since 1963. The vision has endured, and generations of families have benefited.
