More than fifty years of research in varied fields has demonstrated that when consumers are oriented to a professional service in advance of participating in that service, consumers are more satisfied, are less likely to complain, and the service is more efficient and more effective. This brief overview introduces the concept of advance orientation (AO) to the family law community. Programming now available at DefuseDivorce.com is described emphasizing the terrific value of AO programming for parents who are court-ordered to complete parenting plan (i.e., custody) evaluations.

When divorcing parents litigate their children’s custody, many courts order the family to participate in a Parenting Plan Evaluation (PPE; formerly known as “child custody evaluation”). PPE is a rigorous, intrusive, time- and dollar-expensive process intended to characterize the family’s dynamics and assist the Court in understanding the children’s best interests. It stands to reason, however, that the anxiety associated with family turmoil compounded by the anxiety associated with the PPE process together undermines the ecological validity of the data thus obtained and thereby risks confounding these goals and doing harm.
A review of literature from a wide variety of fields suggests that orientation in advance of participating in an unfamiliar and stressful event diminishes consumers’ anticipatory anxiety, improves compliance, efficacy, efficiency, and satisfaction with numerous secondary benefits. In the context of PPE, advance orientation (AO) is distinguished from informed consent and coaching. An AO for parents preparing to participate in a PPE is proposed. Research into the efficacy of this program is described.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
