What Other Professionals Get Involved in a Divorce or Custody Case?
By
The Knowlton Law Firm
Brian Knowlton discusses the various professionals who may be brought into a family law case, depending on whether the dispute centers on child custody or dividing marital assets. On the custody side, this can include family therapists, parenting facilitators, amicus attorneys, and forensic psychologists for psychological evaluations. On the financial side, forensic CPAs may be brought in to trace assets, identify fraud, or distinguish separate property. Knowlton explains that involving objective third-party experts can carry more weight with a judge than two parties disputing claims against each other, helping cut through "he said, she said" arguments with credible, unbiased insight.
