Parent Coordination Central (.com) isn’t. Unless Coordinating a Sequence of Adm. Dissolutions was part of the plan? Neither “is” (as a Georgia nonprofit) either The Cooperative Parenting Institute, Inc. or Nat’l Parent Coordination Association, Inc. (Susan Boyan, Anne Marie Termini joint websites and “flash-in-the-pan” Georgia nonprofits, revisited, Dec. 2017)
I was looking at Massachusetts AFCC filings and website again recently, in the context of reunification camp “Overcoming Barriers” being advertised on the site; a topic I’m posting on currently, and very concerned about; the practice seems so aggressive towards minor children and can involve and has involved hauling them (transporting, including by airplane) cross-country for group therapy and re-indoctrination, “deprogramming parental alienation” camps.
MA AFCC “Resources for Families” page, featuring, among other offerings, the 501©3 “Overcoming Barriers.” Parental Alienation-antidote,a.k.a. reunification therapy (or camps)….

MA AFCC web page featuring Parent Coordination (see website for active links)
Anyhow, I noticed that the MAAFCC.org website, which is pretty basic, not overly populated with information, does take time to advertise and talk about Parent Coordination, and its certification (i.e., get trained to be listed as a provider). It also shows this to have been, it seems, a very recent (2017) administrative ruling to make it, or some new element of it, happen.
Home page of AFCC chapter in MA. Fairly straightforward.
MA AFCC Articles of Incorp (partial, from state business entities search site)
So… on the topic and title of “Parent Coordinator,” like others AFCC members (under its name or under other significant organizations or center they may have been involved with) helped sponsor as professions, such a dispute resolution, or mediator, or the concept of “collaborative divorce,” etc., just because this may not be making headlines on “outraged parent news” journalism, including about parents periodically suing over it in protest, doesn’t mean the court-ordered practice or judicial involvement in certifying or training people for it (to get referral business from the courts) has ceased operations.
Click to enlarge. Self-explanatory. Found on MAAFCC.org website on a page dedicated to “Parenting Coordination” news.
Some apparently have, though, it seems ceased staying legally registered at the state level. The ones in Georgia here, I DNR whether I ever found related tax returns. There may have been Forms 990-N filed (or, maybe not), but it’s not on my priority list to check the IRS individually for these.
Post title:
To be honest, I wanted to refer to this, check back because I referred to it, but not clutter up the original post. Parent post (this will probably be published right after it, and before Christmas Day, 2017) is “Incentivizing Reunification Camps while Family Policy already sets the stage for Familial Abductions.” (short-link ending “-8fE”). The post you’re reading now IS short; consider it a footnote only (not a major expose!)…
