Carey Haley and Danielle Gregory recently attended the annual AFCC conference in Boston. Great city and great conference!

Terry Mays recently renewed her membership with AFCC and the Indiana Chapter and we are so thankful!

Terry shared that she made the decision “ along with three other colleagues. The AFCC's comprehensive benefits and training have proven to be invaluable in my role as a Family Court Specialist. In this capacity, I handle a range of responsibilities, including custody/parenting time evaluations, parenting coordination, mediation, case management, high-conflict co-parenting workshops, and supervised parenting time.

Outside of work, I find great joy in spending time with my three children and our beloved pets. We love exploring our city, visiting museums, and enjoying the thrill of water and roller coaster parks. When I have some solo time, I enjoy the tranquility of bike riding, the escape of a good book, and the comfort of music”
