The child-custody ecosystem — psychologists, evaluators, parent coordinators, CPS, therapists — often operate without transparency or accountability. Many professionals genuinely help families, but others cultivate reputations rather than results.

In one case, a “high-conflict co-parenting therapist” worked in the same office as one parent’s private therapist, failed to disclose the conflict to the 730 evaluator, and selectively withheld emails that contradicted his conclusions.

BCI believes that:

• All court-appointed professionals must disclose financial and relational conflicts of interest.
• Evaluators should be audited for outcomes — not just credentials.
• Therapists and coordinators must be required to report when one parent consistently undermines the child’s best interest.

Why this matters for children
When professionals protect reputations instead of truth, children suffer silently. Accountability within the “helping professions” is not an attack — it’s reform. Real expertise demands humility, not hierarchy.
