Why Specialist Coaching is essential before meeting with Court Child Experts and other Court Consultants

The preparation of a Child Impact Report (‘short form report’) or Family Report (‘long form report’) is a common occurrence in most parenting matters that end up in the court system in Australia.

High-quality preparation is crucial, because the views and recommendations of the report writer can be very influential to your overall outcome.

Senior Judicial Registrars and Judges tend to put more weight on the views of report writers than what is contained in your affidavit, or the affidavit of your partner, when deciding on parenting arrangements (in situations where you and your former partner cannot come to an agreement).

Recommendations from Report Writers commonly form the basis of Consent Orders.

If you are preparing to meet with a Court Child Expert, Single Expert Witness or Family Consultant, I encourage you to book at least 2 x one hour coaching calls in order to plan and prepare. Or, book an initial call and ask me about a Coaching Package.
