CHAPTER THREE
25 Key Strategies to Help You Achieve A Successful
Conclusion To Your Court Case
"FROM DR. BRICKLIN AND DR. ELLIOT"
FOURTEEN KEY STRATEGIES FOR YOU TO USE
"We have carefully tracked all of the factors that seem to hold true
with people who do well in custody disputes. That is, we compared the
strategies used by people who do well in such disputes with those who
do not do well, and have identified fourteen key items that we think
are of particular importance."
STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE USED AGAINST YOU
"Here we will deal with a number of strategies that could be used to
damage your position."
FOUR STRATEGIES THAT CAN BE EFFECTIVE WHEN A CHILD HAS BEEN BRIBED
OR
MANIPULATED INTO TURNING AGAINST ONE OF THE PARENTS
"Of course, the major strategy that could be used against you is for
the children to have been alienated from you. This may have been done
in subtle ways that escaped detection, or it may have been done prior
to any opportunity for a trained evaluator to spot it."
CHAPTER FOUR
Things for Grandmothers (women) and Grandfathers (men)
to Be Aware of When in Custody Court
WOMEN AND MEN ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY DURING CHILD CUSTODY COURT
CASES AND IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BE IN A POSITION TO COUNTERACT
THESE JUDICIAL BIASES
_FROM DR. BRICKLIN AND DR. ELLIOT:_
"One of the things we want to cover is what is called in the
scientific community the role of "bias." Biases are behaviors (here,
we speak of those we observed in the psycholegal world) that can work
against you, even though the so-called negative item does not really
predict bad or poor parenting skills. A bias is much like a prejudice.
We call a criticism "prejudiced" if we feel that a person is being
faulted for something that does not really point to any true negative.
We have observed the prejudices covered here among judges who are
otherwise fairly intelligent and well meaning.
It is of upmost importance to understand these biases (or
prejudices) so you can counteract their effect on your custody case.
Example: If you knew that female judges were prejudiced against men
who wear sports shirts because they believed that they were flaunting
their masculinity YOU WOULDN'T WEAR A SPORTS SHIRT TO COURT."
CHAPTER FIVE
_EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CUSTODY EVALUATIONS_
THE CUSTODY EVALUATION MAY BE A CRITICAL ELEMENT IN THE DECISION-
MAKING PROCESS OF YOUR CHILD CUSTODY CASE. IT WOULD NOT BE UNUSUAL FOR
THE JUDGE HANDLING YOUR CASE TO ORDER A CUSTODY EVALUATION BE
SUBMITTED TO THE COURT. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? WHAT DO EVALUATORS LOOK
FOR DURING A COMPREHENSIVE CUSTODY EVALUATION? CAN YOU PREPARE FOR A
CUSTODY EVALUATION?
What are Custody Evaluations?
In most states when there is a custody dispute, the Court appoints
a custody evaluator. That evaluator may work for Court Services or may
be a private individual.
In a "Custody Evaluation" an evaluator meets with the parties and
evaluates the custody issues based on the factors for determining
custody that are spelled out by state statutes.
Once the custody evaluation is complete the evaluator submits a
report to the Court which will recommend a custody and visitation
schedule that the evaluator believes is in the child's best interests.
This report is a critical element of your case.
Although custody studies may be challenged in court, many Judge's
defer to the recommendations of the evaluator because, unlike the
parties, they are deemed to be an independent witness without any
personal Interest in the outcome. As a result, how you relate your
case to the evaluator is very important.
CHAPTER SIX
