Her false allegation in her request for child custody and court permission to re-locate with her daughter to Arizona included a complaint of sexual abuse of her ex-husband, a false charges of “stalking”, and other reasons why Robert was a man who” could not be trusted with a child”.

Our Parenting Plan containing and Assessment and Evaluation revealed a normal dad who has been at his child’s birth, cared for her as a  “stay at home dad”, and was no threat what-so-ever to anyone including his ex-spouse! Robert completed our Assessment and followed the recommendations in our Parent Coaching. Robert provided his attorney with his expert Evaluation which was put into evidence for his next court hearing with his ex-spouse and her attorney, and her bags packed. Re-location was denied, Robert won equity parenting, and “overnights” until the actual trial. By the end of the year, due to the opportunity to document what a competent parent he really was, a 50/50 parenting plan was in place. Maternal patent was allowed to leave the state, only if “the child remained in the child’s pre-school and in the continuing care of paternal parent”. This would never have been the result without the ” credibility” and court equities” Roberts submitted and the supportive evidence we are able to provide his attorney.
