"Our Risk Assessment objective is to prove or disprove any allegations of harmful and/or unhealthy conduct alleged in family law court."

Family Violence Risk Assessments should be used whenever there is an allegation of domestic violence, child abuse or child molestation. These allegations are serious and consequences can impact the parties for a lifetime. This assessment should be used whenever there is a need to prove or disprove an allegation before addressing the "best interest of the child(ren)".

Other situations where the Family Violence Risk Assessment would be appropriate is where there is a dispute in child custody and a traditional child custody evaluation (EC 730) fails to address all the issues. Oftentimes, evaluations fail to investigate in an uncontrolled environment, where many of the answers are found.

At Borders McLaughlin we go beyond what traditional law enforcement and governmental agencies can provide. Our team of highly qualified investigators can assist in dealing with allegations of child abuse or parental abduction. Our investigators are flexible, and able to respond to any situation, no matter the time or location. When sensitivity and urgency is critical, our team is prepared to act immediately.
