S10 Ep13: What Should You NEVER Say in a Custody Evaluation?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that certain statements made during a custody evaluation can carry significant weight and potentially damage your case in the eyes of the judge. Understanding how to communicate with an evaluator is essential for achieving a favorable outcome for your family. • Bad-mouthing the other parent often backfires, making you appear negative and unreasonable while the other parent may look like the better actor. • Refusing to co-parent or cooperate suggests to the court that joint custody is impossible, forcing a decision where one parent wins and the other loses. • Admitting to attempts at parental alienation is a major red flag that indicates the child is being used as a pawn in the legal battle. • Demonstrating a lack of insight into the child's specific needs or blaming the child for family issues can lead to an unfavorable evaluation. • Every word spoken during an evaluation and in the courtroom carries serious weight and will directly impact the final judicial decision. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/uLz86zyW5u0 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
