When I went to conciliation to seek help in making a schedule that would be fair to both me and my daughter's father, I was shocked at the demeanor of these court employees. During the hour long meeting, the father of my child said some pretty off the wall things like, " Last week it eneded up being 60 degrees outside, and do you know what she (me) sent my daughter to school in? A winter coat." I would look over at this prafessional and she would be rolling her eyes at him. But in the end she created a schedule which gave me less access to my daughter even when I was available, and him more, even though he was at work and is then girlfriend would be picking my daughter up from school.
Later I called the courthouse, curious about what credentials this person and her fellow employee had as a conciliator, but they would not share this information. I then had a friend inquire, and she too, was given the run around. I finally called a second time and spoke to the supervisor who said, "You do not need to know." I could not believe the treatment I was given. I stayed on the line and convinced him to tell me. I found out th the first conciliator was assigned to the conciliator position from a sercretarial position. She was known as a power hungry person who did not seem very happy. So........ And her partner was a former drug and alcholol counselor. Hmmmmm........ Let's get people who unsderstand child development, attachment theories, structural family therapy.....
