PACE (Professional Academy of Custody Evaluators) is a nationally recognized organization committed to establishing high standards for custody evaluators and parenting coordinators. Founded in 1991 by esteemed experts Dr. Barry Bricklin and Dr. Gail Elliot, PACE was created in response to the needs of judges and attorneys who sought an independent way to evaluate the education, training, and experience of professionals in custody-related roles, including those seeking PACE certification.
PACE is widely respected for its rigorous certification process and commitment to ethical practices. Professionals who hold PACE certification, including custody evaluators like the Nationally Certified Custody Evaluator™ (NCCE) and parenting coordinators such as the Nationally Certified Parenting Coordinator™ (NCPC), are recognized for their specialized knowledge, proven work experience, and adherence to ethical standards. These credentials are substantiated by judges, attorneys, and other mental health professionals, ensuring that families receive evaluations conducted with the highest level of professionalism and care.
