Views of the Child Reports
Views of the Child Reports (also known as Voice of the Child Reports)
Now more than ever, children want to be heard!
This service is a helpful way for children to have a voice in their parent's separation/divorce court proceeding. It provides the parents and court with the child(ren)'s views and preferences in relation to family matters, often promoting settlement negotiations. This service is relatively non-intrusive, inexpensive and brief (approximately one month), and can be court-ordered, or agreed upon by the parents.
The process typically involves reviewing relevant documentation and conducting interviews with each child over several weeks. The child(ren)’s views and preferences are canvassed about a number of subjects within the context of the separation and divorce. A brief Report is then completed, and provided to the parents and, if applicable, their counsel and court.
