Two Hours Custody Evaluator Training!

This 2-hour course, taught by internationally recognized expert, Philip M. Stahl, PhD, ABPP, focuses on the issue of relocation for children of divorce, one of the most difficult with which child custody evaluators and judges must deal. There is limited research to help guide the evaluator in formulating considerations when one parent wants to move with his/her children, and the other parent wants the children to remain in the current location. Consideration of children's best interests in a relocation case requires a complex understanding of various factors identified in the psychological literature as well as various state statutes and case law. Throughout the course, Dr. Stahl guides the evaluator through an understanding of the research, the typical factors which need to be understood, and will identify the risk-benefit analysis which is encouraged in each of these cases. Finally, in response to popular demand, a bonus section is included with state-by-state downloadable PDF files for all 50 states and DC that detail local laws and regulations. This course is offered in three convenient Online and CD formats available below.
