WHAT IS AN EXPERT FAMILY REPORT?

An expert family report is an independent assessment written by a Family Consultant. A Family Consultant will explore all relevant issues and conduct a thorough assessment of the family. Then, they will make recommendations as to arrangements that will best meet the interests of your child/ren. A family report is all about your child/ren and ensuring their interests are being looked after and championed. It is not uncommon for the recommendations to motivate parties to reach an agreement out of court, which saves a lot of time, money and stress. If your matter does progress to a final hearing, the family report will be admitted as evidence to aid the court in coming to a decision.
