Parenting Plans
All too often, the professionals in charge of a custody decision -- lawyers, judges, and mental health experts -- approach parenting plans as a routine exercise, often resulting in a cookie-cutter plan that revolves around the basic concepts of alternate weekends or 50/50 time with each parent. To facilitate the creation of high-quality parenting plans, Parenting Plans: Meeting the Challenges with Facts and Analysis combines practical considerations along with extensive research, theory, and scholarly debate to present a thorough, focused, and useful guide for attorneys and related professionals. Beginning with the basic considerations for an effective plan, further chapters offer tools for attorneys and others to craft appropriate and workable plans for their clients. Topics address all-too-common issues, such as difficult parenting plan cases involving very young children, domestic violence, or other family conflict; child mental health and/or special needs; dealing with parental mental health and related problems; cases involving allegations of parental alienation; gay and lesbian parents, as well as never married parents; child abuse and/or neglect; and more.

Psychological Experts in Divorce Actions
Emotionally charged issues abound in matrimonial practice, especially in custody disputes. Expert testimony can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of a case, and when matters are highly sensitive or sensational the seeming objectivity of an expert can be dispositive.

Keeping up with the data had been a challenge, but one integrated resource has made it simple. Aspen Publishers’ Psychological Experts in Divorce Actions pulls all the research together into the definitive guide to understanding the role of psychological eva...

At the same time, however, there have been reactionary pulls that have halted progress in many critical areas such as incom...
