Family Expert Witnesses

In the 1950s, the traditional family included a mother who was a homemaker, a father who went to work, and two or more children. Today, the modern family includes a significantly larger range of living arrangements and a wider group of people as families. Now single and single-sex parents, couples with no children, and extended families are considered a family unit. Our family expert witnesses, speakers, and consultants are scholars and researchers from major universities, psychologists, counselors, social workers, lawyers, physicians, and other professionals. Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to:

  • Domestic violence
  • Family violence
  • Domestic abuse

  • Child abuse
  • Neglect, early intervention

  • Competency to stand trial
  • Criminal responsibility
  • Divorce
  • Parental alienation
  • Child custody
  • Child protective services
