THE SHORTEST LINE

The Best Interest Program influenced what is now The Shortest Line. The Shortest Line aims to supplement the financial resources necessary to fund court ordered psychological examinations and other paramount services in complex and/or high-conflict custody cases for indigent families. Prior to the formation of The Shortest Line, there were no resources or sources of funding for this targeted population, hence the name. Actually, there is no line of individuals or entities that are involved in funding these critical services. Through the generous funding of county and federal grants, as well as corporate and individual donors, it is the long-term vision of The Shortest Line that no psychological evaluation or court-involved service, deemed critical by the Judges in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas - Adult Family Division, goes unfunded.
