Dorothy's Story (Part 2): Play Therapy, A Parent Banned From School & Family Court

In Part 2 of this three-part series, a simple request to continue a six-year-old's play therapy spirals into a high-conflict custody dispute—and his father's request for sole custody. The dispute quickly expands into battles over parenting decisions, school records, police involvement, and a parenting plan that leaves some of the biggest decisions about a child's life completely undefined.Dorothy details how a Fourth of July parenting exchange involving police resurfaces during play therapy, leading to new questions about the child's emotional well-being. She also shares why a parent was ultimately banned from his son's school and how disagreements over therapy and education led to court intervention, a Guardian ad Litem (GAL), and thousands of dollars in additional litigation.We also discuss:• Play therapy in child custody cases• Police involvement during parenting exchanges• A parent being banned from a child's school• Parenting plans that fail to address school • Guardian ad Litem (GAL) investigations• Case managers and high-conflict custody disputes• High-conflict co-parenting and OFW (OurFamilyWizard)• Family court litigation and attorney tactics• The financial cost of child custody battles• Preparing for trial without an attorneyThis is Part 2 of a three-part series following Dorothy's ongoing custody case.High Conflict Hell is a podcast about family court, child custody, parenting plans, domestic violence, coercive control, court abuse, and the realities of high-conflict litigation.
