Mental health services can play a critical role in family law cases—but the effectiveness of those services often begins with the order that puts them in place. Choosing the right intervention, clearly defining the professional’s role, and understanding what the service can—and cannot—accomplish can make the difference between an intervention that helps a family move forward and one that creates additional confusion, conflict, expense, or litigation. This practical workshop will examine the mental health services commonly encountered in family law cases, including Custody Evaluations, Parental Fitness Evaluations, Psychological Evaluations, Rule 4-902 Assessments, Safe Harbor Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Co-Parenting Therapy, and Individual Therapy. Presenters will discuss the purpose and appropriate use of each service, important distinctions between them, and common problems that arise when orders do not clearly identify the professional’s role, scope, expectations, and limitations. Using sample orders and real-world examples, the workshop will identify common drafting pitfalls and offer practical suggestions for attorneys, judges, commissioners, mental health professionals, and other family court practitioners. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to select the appropriate mental health intervention and how thoughtfully drafted orders can improve professional collaboration, reduce misunderstandings, and produce better outcomes for children and families.
