"Understanding the Often Confusing Roles Played by Experts in Parental Alienation Cases"
On Sunday, February 7, 2021, from 8-10 PM EST, Dr J Michael Bone and Dr. Robert Evans will be our guest speakers for our international seminar call. These initial calls are of no charge to anyone. This is a ministry of Family Access-Fighting for Children's Rights. We now have 40 countries participating on our calls with over 1,100 people attending. You have the option to call in on our audio conference line, audio skype or download our desk top app.
The purpose of this presentation is to clarify and explain the many and varied roles that Experts may play in a Parental Alienation case. Mental Health professionals who do have expertise in parental alienation will be defined in the most general terms regarding who is a true expert and who is likely not. Once one’s expertise regarding Parental Alienation is established, the potential roles that they may play are many and varied, however there are clear rules that establish the boundaries separating them. Generally speaking, experts may be separated into two mutually exclusive categories: consultative vs scientifically based opinion.
The consultative role can be best understood as being an advocacy role wherein the PA Consultant works with the parent and their legal counsel in an effort to reverse the counter-intuitive nature of parental alienation. It is well understood that alienated children joined with the alienating parent against the targeted parent presents a picture where the unfavored parent “appears” to be the problem when the opposite is actually the case. The Consultative role works behind the scenes to aid in creating a presentation to the court that will be persuasive in exposing the counter-intuitive nature of the case. This consultative role addresses the best ways to present the evidence to the court., and assists in decision making regarding which evidence should be emphasized and which should be ignored. The consultative expert may help in witness preparation and in parental coaching. Additionally, they may assists in vetting a potential testifying expert and assist in preparing their testimony. Since this behind the scenes activity has this advocacy role, this same consulting expert should not then also present themselves as a testifying expert. The reasons for this separation will be discussed in detail with examples.
The scientifically based testifying expert however must maintain a scientifically neutral position that is based on the facts and their application to the science. Ironically perhaps, the testifying expert’s objectiveness in maintaining their scientifically neutral position is tied directly to their persuasiveness. In other words this testifying expert simply applies the facts of the case to what we understand about the phenomenon of Parental Alienation. This general position applies to the various roles that the testifying expert may occupy. The roles are listed below:
Even though these principals are understandable and hardly rocket science, they are not well understood by even experienced Family Lawyers and perhaps most shockingly even by Family Law Judges. The purpose of this presentation is to clarify these principles.
J Michael Bone received his Master’s and Doctoral Degrees at the New School for Social Research, in New York City. He did his clinical training at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, and eventually had consulting and training responsibilities in their Department of Psychiatry. Upon return to his home in Orlando, Florida, he began a general clinical psychotherapy practice. By the mid 1990’s he began to work in the area of high conflict divorce, which eventually and inevitably led him to the problem of Parental Alienation. In the late 1990’s he published several articles on the problem and was invited to become a member of the Scientific and Professional Advisory Board of the Parental Alienation Research Foundation in Washington DC. It was there that he met Richard Gardner, MD, as well as many of the first pioneers in this field. From that period onward, his focus has been increasingly on the problem of grappling with Parental Alienation. In 2006 he closed his clinical practice, stopped seeing patients, and began to work exclusively on the problem of Parental Alienation in a purely consultative capacity. In that role he has become involved in cases all over the United States and Canada. He has spoken at multiple professional conferences devoted to Parental Alienation in the United States, Canada and western Europe, and has been interviewed on many radio and talk programs, including Anderson Cooper. The most recent focus on his work has been on the challenge of how to best present Parental Alienation to the Family Court system, in ways that produce healing remedies, which will be a primary focus of this conference.
Dr. Evans is a licensed school psychologist and has been practicing Forensic Psychology for over 25 years throughout the U.S. His forensic services include expert testimony in family law cases with a focus on Parental Alienation (PA), including allegations of parental rejection, child abuse, sex abuse, and estrangement. He is trained as a Family Divorce Mediator, Parenting Coordinator, Guardian ad Litem, Collaborative Law Practice, and Child Custody Evaluator. In 2011, he authored the book, The Essentials of Parent Alienation Syndrome, and a number of articles for bar association journals and publications. He has testified as an expert on PA in numerous courts across the U.S. as to what PA is, how to identify it, and how to rehabilitate it. He has conducted in excess of a hundred child custody evaluations in his career thus far. Dr. Evans is an approved sponsor of continuing education for psychologists by the American Psychological Association. He is the co-founder of the National Association of Parental Alienation Specialists (NAOPAS.com). In addition he has been approved by many legal bar associations to conduct continuing legal education on a variety of topics, including Litigating Family Law Cases with Parent Alienation, Critiquing and Reviewing Child Custody Evaluations and An Overview of Established Rehabilitation Programs.

In other words this testifying expert simply applies the facts of the case to what we understand about the phenomenon of Parental Alienation. This general position applies to the various roles that the testifying expert may occupy. The roles are listed below:
- Hypothetical Testimony without review of any materials specific to the case. This type of testimony presents the phenomenon of parental alienation, allowing the court to determine if it applies to the particular case of if it does not.
- Testimony/Report derived from a document review of the specific case typically hired by one parent.
- Testimony/Report derived from an evaluation of as much of the case as a non-court ordered evaluation can capture. The specifics of this will be discussed in detail with examples with its permutations.
- Testimony/Report based on the results of a court ordered evaluation wherein the evaluator has access to all information and the parties and children and other collateral sources.
