Surviving Court Battles: Insights from Family Law Expert Kara Bellew

It's important that the court is hearing about those issues, as it relates to different things that are going on with the children, and the court may determine that it's necessary to appoint a forensic psychologist, for example, who's going to evaluate the entire family and certainly, if there are issues of domestic violence, psychological abuse, any of the number of issues that you've raised- parental alienation, for example- you as the attorney- it's really important that whoever is assigned, I think, has a background in what that issue is.
Courtrooms can be daunting, especially when your partner is an abuser. In this episode of 'The Savvy Shrink', Andrea Schneider, LCSW, sits down with family law attorney Kara Bellew to tackle the complexities of navigating the court system under such circumstances. Kara, who has been dedicated to family law since 2005, shares her vast experience in guiding clients through high-stakes custody battles often complicated by mental health issues, addiction, and domestic violence.
Kara doesn't just bring legal expertise to the table; she offers compassionate advice on protecting yourself and your children during these turbulent times. From effective communication in court to understanding the role of expert witnesses, she breaks down strategies that can make a significant difference in high-conflict divorce cases. Her insights extend to the critical need for better training for judges on domestic violence and personality disorders, advocating for a more informed and empathetic judicial system.
Listeners will find this episode both informative and reassuring, offering practical tips and emotional support for those facing similar challenges. Whether you're in the midst of a court battle or simply seeking to understand the process better, Kara's advice provides a beacon of hope and guidance. Tune in to gain confidence and compassion as you navigate these difficult waters.
