1. Relocation Dilemmas: Legal Chaos and Psychological Disruption when Parents Move Apart

Relocation cases increase the myriad complications confronting post-separation families. They also create significant challenges for attorneys, custody evaluators, and judicial officers. Each of these professionals may have different approaches to addressing the conflict that arises when one parent wishes to relocate, and the other parent believes that the move will upset the child’s familiar sur-roundings and disrupt their own relationship with the child. This session will present the views of an experienced attorney and psychologist who will provide the nuts and bolts of the law, and the components and reasoning behind a custody/access assessment addressing relocation.

Larry S. Fong, PhD, Larry Fong & Associates, Calgary, ABMary Cushing Doherty, Esq., High Swartz, LLP, Norristown, PA

2. Parent-Child Contact Problems: How Do We Understand Them? What Can We Do About Them?

Parent-child contact problems that develop in shared parenting situations are some of the most dif-ficult family law cases. What is the state of social science about this family dynamic? How do we understand concepts like estrangement and alienation and what are the implications for interventions based on this differentiation? What are the range of legal and psychological interventions that are available and when should they be utilized? This institute will address these questions though presen-tation, discussion of vignettes, and provide practical materials to assist participants working with these challenging cases.

Robin M. Deutsch, PhD, ABPP, Wellesley, MAMatthew Sullivan, PhD, AFCC President, Palo Alto, CA

3. Navigating Challenging Terrain: Psychological Testingin the Courtroom

Psychological testing can provide critical information to the court in custody disputes. This institute will provide both attorneys and mental health professionals with valuable information regarding various psychological tests, and their use and misuse in custody evaluations and the courtroom. The institute will provide live examples of direct and cross-examination of the mental health expert dem-onstrating how to use psychological testing results in court, and how to provide useful testing infor-mation to the court. Video examples of cross-examination of psychological testing will also be used to demonstrate both beneficial and problematic ways of using testing in court. Maria P. Cognetti, Esq., Cognetti & Associates, Camp Hill, PASol R. Rappaport, PhD, ABPP, Northern Illinois Institute of Forensic Psychology, Libertyville, IL

4. Your Brain Will Fool You: Cognitive Bias, Implicit Bias,and De-Biasing Strategies

The integrity and usefulness of forensic work products as well as the efficacy of legal advocacy are, in substantial measure, related to the absence of bias in the forensic professional and attorney-advocate. Cognitive biases are forms of bias that result from human neuropsychology and errors in logical reasoning. Implicit biases are biases that we don’t realize we have. This institute will explore the nature of these biases, how they impact advocacy and forensic assessment, and will further explore de-biasing strategies and techniques that are useful in minimizing bias in the work that we do.Robert A. Simon, PhD, Forensic Psychology Consulting, San Diego, CA Sandra L. Mayberry, Esq., Henderson, Caverly & Pum, LLP, San Diego, CAScott M. Klopert, Esq., Klopert & Ravden, LLP, Encino, CA

Testing Parents or Patience: What are the Pros and Cons of Psychological Testing in Child Custody Evaluations?Do psychological tests provide useful information in child custody evaluations? When do tests help and when might they mislead? Are commonly administered psychological tests designed to answer questions relevant to child custody evaluations? A family court judge explores the uses, abuses, and objections to psychological testing in child custody cases with the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and two distinguished child custody evaluators, each of whom authored an article on psychological testing for the fall 2018 edition of the journal.

1. Personality Disorders: Identifying, Evaluating, Managing,Mediating, and Litigating

This session will assist attorneys and mental health professionals with identifying personality disor-ders, evaluating how this impacts the case, managing these clients, negotiating and mediating their disputes, and litigating cases where one or both parties have a personality disorder. Presenters will discuss the DSM-5, how disorders impact custody and related issues, custody evaluations, how know-ing patterns of behavior can help navigate this area, how to coach clients who are using email and text, and different strategies for addressing these issues in mediation versus litigation.Bill Eddy, Esq., LCSW, High Conflict Institute, San Diego, CASandra L. Mayberry, Esq., Henderson, Caverly & Pum, LLP, San Diego, CA

2. Ethical Issues and Challenges for Consultantsand Expert Witnesses

This session will address the ways in which forensic mental health professionals can assist attorneys in the representation of their clients, through work product reviews, litigation support services, and expert testimony. In point-counterpoint format, the presenters will discuss their opposing views regarding the use of mental health professionals to prepare custody litigants prior to evaluations. Examples of trial-consultant work-products will be reviewed.

David A. Martindale, PhD, ABPP, St. Petersburgh, FL

Thomas W. Wolfrum, Esq., Law Offices of Thomas Wolfrum, Walnut Creek, CA

3. Too Much of a Good Thing: The Surprising Effects of Affluenceon Child Development and the Implications for Child Supportfor the Super Wealthy

Privilege and wealth come with a price. The negative effects of wealth can have serious, adverse devel-opmental outcomes for children if affluent parents don’t actively manage these risks. When wealthy parents divorce, they must also actively manage these same risks. Is there such a thing as too much child support? The implications of these psychological and family relationship issues for the determi-nation of child support in extremely affluent families are presented from the psychological and legal perspective.

4. Attacking the Unfavorable Custody Evaluation: A Primer for Pit Bulls to Golden Retrievers

You find yourself in the middle of another contentious custody dispute. It won’t settle. Your client, whether by consent order or court directive, undergoes a custody evaluation. You finally receive the report prior to trial only to discover the custody evaluator has drawn conclusions and made recom-mendations contrary to your client’s goals and wishes. What can you do to challenge this report? What resources do you employ? Is it time to bring in your own mental health expert? In this session, you will evaluate and learn systematic ways to approach unfavorable custody evaluations whether your courtroom style is that of a pit bull, golden retriever, or something in between.

Leslie M. Drozd, PhD, Newport Beach, CA Kim R. Bonuomo, Esq., Allman Spry Davis Leggett & Crumpler, PA, Winston-Salem, NC

5. Allegations of Child Sexual Abuse During the Child Custody Evaluation; Now What?

Child custody forensic evaluators must consider many factors when conducting their evaluations. But what happens when, during the evaluation, allegations of child sexual abuse are made by either one of the parents or the child? This session will address issues including: (1) the mental health profes-sional’s competency to conduct a child sexual abuse forensic evaluation; (2) proper protocols to follow when evaluating allegations of child sexual abuse arising during the child custody evaluation; (3) the issue of parental alienation; (4) mandatory reporting laws; and (5) the involvement of child protective services and law enforcement are some of the issues to be addressed in this session.

“Outstanding conference. The materials were extremely relevant to any professional involved in family law or family therapy. The speakers were engaging, knowledgeable,

thought provoking and inspiring. After I left the conference, the fire in my belly to help families and children in the worst moments of their lives was renewed and strengthened. All questions of why the heck I do what I do were washed away.”

9:00am-10:00am Keynote Address

What’s Sex Got to Do with It? Negotiation Skills for Family Law Professionals Much research has been done to show the gender differences in negotiation. Advice up to this point has primarily focused on women— how to be more assertive or how to be more like men. On the other hand, more recent research shows that, in fact, men are punished even more severely for aggres-sive or bullying behavior in negotiation. In addition, we overlook the perceived advantage that women have in terms of empathy, building rapport and trustworthiness, and how these skills can be utilized in negotiation. With the latest gender research as the backdrop, each negotiation skill will be examined to consider how individual negotiators can improve their own abilities.Professor Andrea Kupfer Schneider, Esq., Marquette Univ. Law School, Milwaukee WI

10:00am-10:30am Break

10:30am-12:00pm Plenary Session

The Role of the Mental Health Consultant in Family Law: Problematic or Providential?Increasingly, mental health professionals are being utilized as consultants in family law cases. However, there remains a question as to whether they provide benefit to the clients, attorneys, and court, or whether their presence, either up front or behind the scenes, leads to unintended consequences that are detrimental for parents, their lawyers and the “system” in general. This plenary will explore, and debate, from the perspectives of the mental health professional, family lawyer, and judge, the benefit and detriment of the use of mental health consultants in a variety of roles. Alexandra Leichter, Esq., Leichter, Leichter-Maroko, LLP, Los Angeles, CA Robin M. Deutsch, PhD, ABPP, Wellesley, MAHon. Thomas Trent Lewis, Los Angeles Superior Court, Los Angeles, CAModerator: Arnold Shienvold, PhD, Riegler, Shienvold & Associates, Harrisburg, PA

1:45pm-3:45pm Concurrent Sessions 6-10

6. Intimate Partner Violence and Parenting Plans: Assessing and Addressing the Child’s Experience of Abuse

Attorneys, judicial officers, mental health professionals, and dispute resolution practitioners generally agree that just as intimate partner violence takes many forms, children’s experience of the abuse can also vary widely. Family court professionals understand that one-size-fits-all solutions can lead to over-restrictive or under-restrictive outcomes that fail to address the specific circumstances of domes-tic violence within families and the way the children may be experiencing it. The challenge comes in differentiating the nature, context, and implications of abuse — and accounting for those differences. This interactive workshop introduces practitioners to SAFeR, a nationally recognized approach increasingly being adopted across the US, and to a set of practical tools designed to help practitioners link the child’s experience of the abuse to the terms of the parenting arrangement. Susan C. Rhode, Esq., Moss & Barnett, Minneapolis, MNLoretta Frederick, Esq., Battered Women’s Justice Project, Winona, MN

7. Evaluating the Effects of Substance Abuse on Parenting Behaviors

Part one of this session will review and describe the effects of substance abuse on parenting and par-enting behaviors. Common drugs will be described, with emphasis on their effects on the brain, and their impact on parenting behavior. Presenters will discuss how to evaluate and present the specific concerning parenting behaviors to judges and attorneys when substance abuse allegations exist. Part two will review how courts evaluate families afflicted by substance abuse, court protocols and the effects of substance abuse on custody litigation. Tools to educate the bench and bar on awareness of treatment options (as opposed to punishment) will be discussed, and strengths and weaknesses of how various jurisdictions address substance abuse and custody litigation will be examined. Harry J. Somers, EdD, Somers Psychological Associates, North Andover, MANancy D. Kellman, Esq., The Law Office of Nancy D. Kellman, White Plaines, NY

8. Analysis of Risk and Pre/Post Separation ProblemsAttorneys, mental health professionals, and others require criteria that assist in determining the man-agement of risk with their own clients or others. Risk management in the field of negotiations, alternate dispute resolution, and in analyses of clients, are of concern to everyone in the field. Present-ers will discuss the HCR-20, a structured professional judgment assessment, and other tools, in light of how these criteria assist professionals in making better determinations of risk.Larry S. Fong, PhD, Larry Fong & Associates, Calgary, AB Mary Cushing Doherty, Esq., High Swartz, LLP, Norristown, PA Gordon D. Cruse, Esq., CFLS, San Diego, CA

9. The Irresistible Force Meets the Immovable Object: Evolving Parenting Plans in Resist/Refuse Cases

Developing and implementing parenting plans can be a challenge even when parents are cooperative. When parents (and children) are not cooperatively inclined, the challenge of developing and crafting parents plans can be frightening. This program will explore the panorama of challenges in resist/refuse cases of varying types and degrees. Presenters will discuss the roles of all the players — parents, chil-dren, mental health professionals (forensic and clinical), lawyers, and judges. Participants will learn about available tools, and how to use them when crafting successful parenting plans.

Mike Kretzmer, Esq., CFLS, Summers Levine & Kretzmer, LLP, Los Angeles, CABarbara Jo Fidler, PhD, Families Moving Forward, Toronto, ON

10. The Voice of the Child: Obtaining and Presenting Reliable Information from Children

This session, for both mental health professionals and lawyers, will focus on addressing the challenges of communicating with children about family disputes and how to present the child’s voice to the court. Topics will include children’s cognitive and linguistic abilities, approaches to overcoming resis-tance, and questioning formats that enhance the reliability of the information that children share. Presenters will also address how to present the voice of the child to the court including through a child’s representative, a custody evaluator, and collateral sources.
