Information on the session
If allegations of child abuse and neglect are included in child custody disputes, family law professionals face particular challenges. Accurately identifying child maltreatment requires assessing the background, the history and the context of the allegations in order to differentiate confirmed, unfounded, and fabricated allegations. The presentation provides a review of child abuse allegations within the context of child custody disputes. It describes the relevant recent academic research, including studies on substantiation rates, alienation and child interviewing. Furthermore, it emphasizes on how to build research-based practices for dealing with these highly complex and challenging cases.

About FPFL
The International Symposium on Forensic Psychology in Family Law (FPFL) has been initiated by Dr. Jelena Zumbach, Assistant Professor of Family Law Psychology at PHB. It is open to anyone who conducts child custody or child protection evaluations, is a researcher in the field, or is generally interested to learn more about the subject.
The symposium will take place via two to three online sessions a year. For each session, we will invite an international speaker on a specific topic. All speakers are internationally renowned researchers with a practical background.
Our most important aim with this symposium is to connect practitioners and researchers in the field from different countries. We would like to discuss problems of practical relevance with you. Sharing case-related experience is encouraged. We want to learn how practitioners from different countries address challenges and how research can contribute to create solutions.
