Whether you're navigating through parenting disputes or seeking resolution for a new family court matter,
Anchor Family Assessment Services works with you to assess the needs and interests of your child.
Full Report
Full s.211 assessments are the most commonly ordered FLA reports. They contain detailed information about your child and your family. We talk to you, your child, people close to the family and other experts. We spend time with your family in your home to better understand your family’s dynamics. In these reports, we suggest options to you and to the court that may benefit the child most. The cost of these reports usually ranges from $15000 to $25000 depending on the case's complexity and the need for psychological testing. They can take between 3-4 months to complete.
Views of the Child Report
For this type of report, we talk to your child, ask about their life and family and what they want going forward. Based on these interviews, we create a report reflecting our impressions of the views of your child. For more complex family questions, a full S.211 report might be suggested instead of a Views of the Child Report. The cost of this report is approximately $2500 for one child, and it can be completed in about two months.
Hear the Child Report
This report is non-evaluatory and is more concise than a Views of the Child Report. These reports convey your child's message to the Judge using your child’s own words without any analysis or opinions from the interviewer. This report serves as a direct communication channel between the child and the Judge. The cost of this report is $1500 for one child and can be completed within about a month.
