CUSTOMIZED REPORTS, ASSESSMENTS & CONSULTING

Support to Legal Counsel, Parenting Coordinators, Mediators & Arbitrators

STARTING AT: $240.00 per hour + GST / Incidental Expenses / 25.00% Contingency Retainer

INITIAL RETAINER REQUIRED: FORMAL ESTIMATE TO BE PROVIDED

Often the standardized reporting processes such as Views of the Child Reports, Hear the Child Reports, and Section 211 Parenting Assessments do not meet the requirements of parties and/or their legal counsel or those involved in assisting the parties with decision-making such as Parenting Coordinators, Mediators and Arbitrators. While they address a wide range of topics or issues, they may not get to the core of any unique or persisting concerns the parties may have. In situations such as this, Leanne is able to provide customized services for short- or longer-term engagements such as general counselling support in high-conflict files, gathering specific views or opinions of children not otherwise contained in a Views of the Child or Hear the Child Report, developing parenting protocols, addressing attachment disruptions, access disputes, and/or visitation compliance issues. These have proven successful in a variety of ways, such as identifying specific needs or concerns of children, minimizing conflict amongst parents, implementing successful co-parenting arrangements, developing and implementing agreed-upon response plans, and maintaining consistent messaging from parents to children. A variety of additional options exist, including formal recommendations for parents, and written or verbal reporting to be used in Parenting Coordinator determinations, mediated agreements or mediation processes, and arbitral awards or arbitration processes.

Prior to commencing service, the client, parties or legal counsel, must complete an intake session, approve a formal estimate, and sign a Professional Services Agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement. Sample agreements the client, parties or legal counsel would be expected to sign are available on the Resources page of this site. Please note that payment of a retainer in-full is required prior to service commencing, and any balances owing upon completion must be remitted prior to deliverables being provided.

If you have any further questions about support services to legal counsel, parenting coordinators, mediators and arbitrators, please do not hesitate to contact Leanne using the contact form on this site. If this type of service would benefit your client’s case, or if you feel it would benefit your own case, please request an intake session. Please note that prior to proceeding, the client, parties or legal counsel must complete an intake session. Services must be consented to by all parents/legal guardians of any child(ren) involved, and in absence of consent or agreement, must be ordered through legal counsel and/or by an order of the court/consent agreement.
