Cutting to the Chase Competently: Brief Focused Custody Assessment
A recent article published in Family Court Review revealed that judges view Parenting Plan Evaluations as too costly, time-consuming, and lengthy. These results indicated that a new approach is needed to provide the courts with the data they require to make appropriate decisions in the children’s best interest. Brief Focused Assessments appear to provide a solution. This webinar will explore the history of BFAs, the professional’s qualifications to conduct BFAs, the proper protocols to use, and how we can all work to help this needed concept have a robust future in our field.
