Family & Child Impact Short Form Reports
Family Reports, child impact short form Reports And Therapy Are Available Australia Wide
Family Report completed by a Psychologist who works with Families every day. As you are well aware, Family Reports are extremely important in the Court Process. It is crucial that for family therapy, you choose the right report writer, a person who understands children, childhood development and modern families and parenting.
Donna Cameron has over 8 years of expertise in this area. Donna continues to work as a Private Practice Psychologist in Melbourne and her work load includes family therapy, supervised contact between children and parents and dispute resolution. Donna is often called by Lawyers and Barristers to be included in Child Inclusive Mediations as the voice of the child and to offer parents some appropriate strategies for their situations.
With this experience, you know that your report writer is up to date with issues that are occurring in families. Donna Cameron can recommend schedules for children that are practical and beneficial with the main goal of preserving family relationships and protecting children from the consequences of parental separation.
Donna Cameron is aware that many reports can take months to be released to the parties and she understands the additional stress this has on family members due to family therapy. Donna therefore offers a maximum of a 2 weeks turnaround of the release of your family reports once the interviews are complete. Donna Cameron is available to travel to any location in Australia to interview for these reports and in some cases SKYPE may be used.
On the day of your family report, you and your ex-partner will be interviewed separately. These interviews usually go for around 2 hours. The report writer will also interview the children involved and will spend some time observing them with each parent if this is safe to do so. Any documents mainly Court documents that you both agree for the report writer to read will be provided to her prior to the interviews. After the interview process, your report will be compiled, and any additional questions will be asked over phone in the days after. The final report is released to each parent (or if they are legally represented) their lawyers at the same time once all the fees have been paid. You will not encounter your ex-partner on the day of the report. This final document may then be submitted to Court.
