Solomon Family Solutions (SFS) is pleased to offer parental alienation and parental estrangement assessment services.
When a child is refusing contact with a parent, we can help unravel the mystery. Depending upon family history and dynamics, SFS may be able to assist with reunification between the child and impacted parent. SFS has years of experience working with families impacted by parental alienation and estrangement. Our practitioners have successfully reunited parents with children; however, we have also uncovered the realities of parental estrangement, when a child’s refusal is reasonable and justifiable, and the parent is unable or unwilling to accept responsibility for the reason their relationship with their child is damaged.
The Five Factor Model
Best practices require the use of The Five Factor Model to assess the condition of the parent’s and child’s relationship. Our assessments utilize this method and it requires the cooperation of and meeting with both parents, access to court records, medical records, and police reports, as well as meeting with the child. It is an intensive forensic investigation to uncover the root cause(s) of why a child is refusing contact with a parent.
If unable to meet with both parents or children, we can assess the court documents and interview the estranged/alienated parent to develop a hypothesis as to why a child may be refusing contact but will not be able to be conclusive until a full investigation has been completed. One potential workaround regarding access to the other parent is the use of depositions and access to court documents, but our preference is to meet with both parents.
