Expert Witness Evidence Kit

“Dr. Warren Farrell is the greatest expert on the importance of fathers. His DVD, “The Best Interests of the Child”, is incredible. Just incredible. It is chock full of insights and information. It is priceless.”

Steve Ashley | Director of Divorced Fathers Network and Radio Show | Santa Cruz, CA

The Evidence Kit includes:

• One copy of Dr. Warren Farrell’s The Boy Crisis and one copy of Father and Child Reunion. For years we had theories; now we have answers. The Boy Crisis and Father and Child Reunion together document more than 50 developmental areas in which dad-deprived children are more likely to suffer. There’s no reason for your child’s life to be damaged by ignorance. (See below for more details.)
• Digital Access to “The Best Interests of the Child” via Dropbox. In “The Best Interests of the Child” Dr. Farrell is cross-examined on virtually every question that might arise in court when the question of whether both parents should be equally involved is at issue. For example, if the parents are in high conflict, or one wishes to move away for a new job, spouse, etc. The “Kit” is provided via Dropbox, streamlining the process for you to easily share with your attorney and the court as needed. Dr. Farrell strongly recommends you watch this video with your attorney when you give a copy to him or her. (Note that many courts will not accept this as evidence except in conjunction with an expert witness.)
• Documented case law governing parental rights with over 250 case citations for use in your case and court submissions, included in the “Evidence Kit” downloadable documents you will receive a link for upon ordering.
• Dr. Warren Farrell’s findings on “The Four Must-Do’s of Divorce,” included in The Boy Crisis book.

Dear Parent,

Most judges and helping professionals know children of divorce do better when raised by both parents. However, when a mom feels “it would be best for my children to live with me,” and the judge witnesses parents in conflict, or the mom cites fear of the husband, or a “need” to move away, or a need for stability, even professionals assume she knows best. In the process, they may miss cues that reveal her territoriality (such as saying “my children”) and hints of her underlying resistance to genuine shared parenting. Why is some moms’ resistance to genuine shared parenting so easily missed? Because our understanding of a dad’s contribution runs so shallow. Even the dad doesn’t understand what the research shows about exactly how children benefit from his involvement. And moms can’t hear what dads don’t say.

My decades of research for The Boy Crisis and Father and Child Reunion that led to my documenting the damage in 50+ developmental areas typically suffered by dad-deprived children changes that. It creates such depth of understanding about the value of dad-as-equal that it shocks even dads. For example, did you know that children raised primarily by dads do better than children raised primarily by moms? Neither does your attorney. Nor your judge. Or that the more exposure to dad, the more empathetic your children are likely to be. Do you know why? Or why a dad’s equal involvement is likely to reduce your child’s propensity for ADHD, drugs, delinquency, depression, disobedience, temper tantrums, nightmares, divorce, low self-esteem, teenage pregnancy, self-centeredness, poor social development, and underachievement in every academic area? (And that’s just for starters!). Because it is hard to imagine how an attorney might translate a book into questions for an expert witness in court, I created the The Best Interests of the Child” flash-drives. This allows the attorney to understand what questions to ask and the answers I give that most inspire the judge to question the assumption that “mom knows best.” The evidence kit will cost you $149, less than a half hour of my time.

I may—or may not—be available as an expert witness. But if there’s even a small chance you and the mom (or dad) can resolve your parenting issues by communication rather than litigation, try that route first—you’ll give your children the gift of knowing how to amicably resolve differences. And you’ll model for your children how, if they cannot save their future marriage they can nevertheless save their children. In brief, I’d much prefer to be used to facilitate your communication.
