16th Symposium on Child Custody: Workshop 12 Evaluation |
Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse in the Context of Child Custody Evaluations Judicial Track
What happens when during the course of a child custody evaluation allegations of child sexual abuse are made? Issues such as the mental health professional’s competency to conduct a child sexual abuse forensic evaluation, proper protocols to follow when evaluating allegations of child sexual abuse rising during the child custody evaluation, the issue of parental alienation, mandatory reporting laws, and the involvement of child protective services and law enforcement are some of the issues this session will address.
