September 15 - 16, 2006
Make plans now to attend the National Family Law Reform Conference at the beautiful Crystal Gateway Marriott in Alexandria, Va. just outside the nation's capitol in Washington, DC.
This conference is for advocates, academics, activists and attorneys, anyone who is interested in Family Law Reform and Shared Parenting.
Family Law touches every American's life. Family law is on the front pages every day. Family law is wreaking havoc with our society, our Constitution, and our children. Divorce, custody, child abuse, domestic violence and other issues - every American knows someone whose family and life have been turned upside down by the workings of family law.
This conference will go beyond the cliches about "ugly divorce" and "nasty custody battle." ACFC, with its participants and cosponsors will provide a critical and candid look at the issue of family law and the steps needed to reign in this behemoth which threatens the stability of every family in America today.
Conference participants and speakers are coming from every segment of our society for one purpose.....To develop and implement action plans for Family Law Reform. We will hear leading scholars from fields other than those that dominate family law and family policy. You will come away with invaluable tools, contacts, and concrete steps to implement change and put family law reform at the center of your community and state agenda.
Our issues are drawing the attention of a number of organizations and leaders from various sectors. ACFC has been working hard to build coalitions with organizations interested in our issues. This is your opportunity to meet other people and organizations interested in family law reform and shared parenting. This is NOT another 'preach to the choir' event.
Take a look at a few of the confirmed speakers and endorsers of this event.

Dr. Stephen Baskerville, President ACFC - No one has brought greater attention to the plight of divorced fathers than Dr. Baskerville. His more than 50 articles in both scholarly and popular publications have earned him well deserved recognition as a leading authority on the family courts.
