CUSTODY EValuation Support

WRITing Support

We offer comprehensive wraparound drafting and editing of your custody evaluation narrative or questionnaire. Narratives are trauma-informed, survivor-focused, and get at the heart of the concerns court professionals need to hear.

Material ORganization

We offer review and copy-editing for narratives already written but not yet submitted. We edit for consistency, credibility, use of language, and organization. Evidence is condensed and organized for evaluator accessibility and understanding.

Support + COACHING

We offer coaching before, during, and after the custody evaluation process. We help survivors portray themselves in the best possible light amidst relentless efforts by abusers to portray survivors in a negative light.

Relocation Studies

For survivors, getting “home” can mean the difference between safety, security, support systems and stability for children and being further abused post-separation. Survivor Resource Group understands that relocation cases are some of the hardest to win. We work with survivors to gather accurate data on the geography, demographic information and school quality in the proposed relocation area and synthesize with current research in a way that is easy to understand for custody evaluators and the court.

EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY

Survivor Resource Group provides expert testimony on relocation and school quality. As 20-year school leader and researcher, Jennifer understands school quality inside and out. She achieved the highest growth in lowest performing in Denver Public Schools in 2017. Armed with an arsenal of knowledge of school and district quality and the indicators that support same, Jennifer can speak to school quality (current and proposed) and student achievement (how children are performing in school), and factors that contribute to success or regression for children in schools.

“Quality Custody narratives can be the difference between freedom or entrapment for survivors and their children.”
