Family Law Attorney Kathryn Kornblum-Zelle begins trying to build coalition to start up a dedicated, supervised-visitation site.

Zelle enrolls in University of Southern Indiana to begin Masters Studies in Social Work, maintaining her private law practice throughout.

Pechin and Zelle meet, compare experiences in Family Law and unite to organize and incorporate the Parenting Time Center.

These services included establishing a Protection Order Assistance Office at the courthouse, training guardians ad litem on recognizing and handling cases where children live in homes where domestic violence is present, and supervised visitation/safe exchange services at Parenting Time Center.

Parenting Time Center collaborated with Vanderburgh County Community Corrections, 4C of Evansville, Evansville Christian Life Center, Mothers at War, Vanderburgh County Volunteer Lawyers, and NOW counseling to obtain a Second Chance Act Addressing the Needs of Incarcerated Parents and Their Minor Children.
