Ep 74: Leveraging your Experience with your Family Court Evaluator with Courtney Gilmartin
Nov 22, 2023 Season 1 Episode 74

If you are in family court with an abusive and narcissistic ex partner it is likely that the possibility of having a court/custody evaluation will be on the table.

Is having a separate person who is supposed to be neutral evaluate your case in order to give recommendations to the judge always helpful?  Ever helpful?

There are many nuances to making the decision to choose and  hire a family court evaluator and even more nuances in how to present your case when you do have one on your case.

In this episode I speak with Courtney Gilmartin, a survivor and current non-profit founder focusing on legislation to change our family court system for the better, shares her experience of post separation abuse, legal abuse, and being able to leverage a court evaluator for a positive outcome for her custody case. We touch on the importance of timing when asking for a family court evaluation, keeping the focus on the children as you are interviewed, the anxiety and mindset shift when doing the psychological assessment, and how to get through such an emotionally taxing event.

About Courtney:
Courtney is a Protective Mom of two who resides in New Jersey and is the Co-Founder of New Jersey Protective Moms, a grassroots non profit dedicated to improving the family law system in New Jersey.  Courtney is also a Domestic Abuse survivor, and has extensive experience with custody litigation, Family Court strategy for Protective Moms and has become increasingly active in her efforts relating to legislative reform.
