West Coast travels

Caroyln & Isolina RicciMy recent trip to the west coast was a week, but the intensity of the experience made it feel like I was gone for a month! My first stop was the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts annual conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. Over 1,000 professionals involved in all aspects of family courts were there from all over the world - judges, lawyers, child protection workers, therapists, mediators and more. I was an exhibitor and had the chance to meet and mingle with many of the participants. One of the highlights was meeting Dr. Isolina Ricci, author of “Mom’s House Dad’s House” and “Mom’s House, Dad’s House for Kids.” She’s a wonderful woman and I consider her books to be absolute “must have” reference books for any family going through separation and divorce.
