Scholarly Lectures/Writings:
  • Family court judges should make decisions per the best interests of the child standard (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2020). High conflict custody cases make this complicated, especially when reunification services are requested. In the middle of contentious proceedings, judges oftentimes receive conflicting information from parents. Judges and family law professionals can be lead astray, relying on unproven constructs and instruments not meeting the criteria of reliability and validity. Some victimized children have been mandated into reunification programs that are neither evidence-based nor trauma informed, causing them further harm (Chester, in press). This two-volume special issue on Parental Alienation and Family Reunification provides courts with critical background in child development, dynamics present in violent families, and how to evaluate the testimony of experts to ensure it values children’s views and follows evidence-based practice., Co-Author, Parental alienation vs coercive control: Controversial Issues and Current Research, Journal of Family Trauma, Child Custody & Child Development, Law, Psychology, Therapeutic Intervention, 2022
