Child Mental Abuse

Re: Child Mental Abuse
There are many options of protecting your daughter, but with mental abuse, then problem is the kind and quality of proof. The best scenario would be for her to see a qualified mental health professions, preferrably a psychologist, that could link up the cause of her desire not to visit with ongoing mental abuse. Another option is to request that the court appoint a guardian ad litem to represent her interests (though the parties still have to pay for the services). Lastly, one can move the court to interview your daugther.
