Working With Both a Gal &
A Custody Evaluator
The purpose is not to provide legal or clinical opinions, instead Angela helps parents understand the distinct roles, mindsets, and decision-making frameworks of these professionals, and to prepare to communicate in a factual, developmentally appropriate, and “best interests of the child”- aligned manner.
Overview
- Discussion about the issues and concerns affecting your case and the distinct roles, authority, and assessment frameworks of the GAL and the Custody Evaluator, including how each gathers information, evaluates risk, and forms recommendations.
- Understand the different mandates, lenses, and priorities of a GAL versus a Custody Evaluator.
- Recognize how credibility is formed and how impressions are shaped in high-conflict cases.
- Learn how to communicate concerns and history in developmentally appropriate, child-centered language, and how to answer difficult or loaded questions without appearing reactive, hostile, or inflexible.
- Present concerns in clear, factual, child-focused language rather than emotional or accusatory narratives.
- Respond to allegations without appearing defensive or rigid.
- Learn how to communicate the patterns of behavior in order to present consistently across all interactions as stable, cooperative, and focused on the child’s best interests.
- Demonstrate insight, emotional regulation, and support for the child’s relationship with both parents.
- Prepare for interviews and observations.
- Advocate for the child’s needs in a calm, organized, and professional manner.
The outcome is a parent who enters both the GAL and Custody Evaluation processes prepared, regulated, and strategically aligned with professional expectations, able to advocate effectively while maintaining credibility and a clear child-focused stance in a high-conflict context.
