Our Story
Get to know us
1993
Our Founder, Jeannie married her childhood sweetheart, but it did not take long before the cracks of the marriage would show, and the beginning of what would become a complex and lengthy family court procedure lasting fourteen years. A total of twenty separate family court applications, (eighteen by the other party), hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs, and an emotional rollercoaster, Jeannie’s real-life experience within the Family Law Court reflected cracks, and a destructive behavior by a system that still impacts parents today. The brutal reality of the system still financially and emotionally destroying families decades after her own experience, has become the foundation of supporting parents and children Australia and globally.
2010
Jeannie worked in supporting families and children of residential and foster care in Australia, who were separated by child services. As she explores each of these families introduction into the system, each family profile was not unlike our any other family however, where crisis occurred, a lack of support of community services, education and counselling, causing many of these families to escalate beyond measure, which would then draw the attention of government child services, resulting in children and parents being separated.
2014
Power Courage Voice, (PCV), Coaching Family Development Services was launched, providing support for children and parents struggling with common challenges families face, giving opportunities for families to access support and remedy via life design programs for parents, children, singles and couples.
2017
The appointment of Family Reportable Supervision of high risk and complex matters found Jeannie further discover a repeated pattern within the Family Legal system, of parents limited power once their family court process commenced, causing further fuelling not just by the parties legal representatives, but by the system not focused on the family unit.
2018
Parenting Together Apart for Parents NOT Together, (PTA), was launched, its goal to focus on families experiencing separation, and to provide a measure for change for such families struggling to transition into separate family life. PTA focus to maintain separated parents’ power outside the legal system, saving them thousands of dollars in legal fees, and settling their matters outside of court.
2021
PTA launched Australia wide, working with not just nationally, but partnering with global partners of the assistance of children and parents relocating and abduction.
Nearly 30 years later after her separation, and over eleven years of officially opening their doors, PTA with PCV with the PTA Network Professional Partners have provided support for hundreds of separated families saving them thousands of dollars of legal court costs and helping parents navigate the emotional process when separation is inevitable.
PTA are focused on not changing the system, but working with parents one family at a time, to remain empowered as they transition through change, and toward light for a positive outcome, focusing on their family unit, and most important, their children, your children.
