***I limit my evaluation caseload to 2 active evaluations to provide a personalized service. Please call to inquire about availability
Evaluation Fees An average estimate for 2 Parents and up to 2 children is approximately $7000. A higher retainer or additional retainers may be required for additional children over age 5, depositions, extensive document review and clients residing outside of Vanderburgh or Warrick County. This initial estimate does not include court testimony or depositions. If Psychological testing is court ordered there will be an addtional fee of $650 for the testing. **Retainers must be maintained throughout the course of the evaluation. Failure to do so will result in the evaluation being placed on hold.
Psychological Testing Psychological Assessment can be performed individually or as part of a custody evaluation. I only provide this service related to parenting/co-parenting issues. The results and interpretation will be provided to legal counsel, Guardian ad Litum if requested by court order, and referring Court. Recommendations for custody and parenting time are only provided if a full custody evaluation is performed. Fees for an individual evaluation are $3500 per adult. . If subpoenaed court costs are an additional fee (see below).

Expert Testimony/Case Review In some circumstances I am retained to provide testimony on a scientific or professional issue because of my experience, training or familiarity with a subject. In these situations I will meet with the attorney and client to assess whether I am appropriate to provide information on a case. A retainer will be requested based on the estimate of time required at $175 hour to prepare for testimony. Court Fees are additional (See below under Court Fees/Subpoenas). Legal professionals may also retain my services to review a case and provide input or education about a specific issue that does not involve going to court or disclosing my services to the other parties in the case. This fee is $175 hour.
Court Fees/Subpoenas **Additional retainer fees are required outside of these counties. Retainers for court are due 1 week prior to the court hearing. The evaluation report will be released when the court retainer is paid. Any outstanding court costs are due 1 week following the court appearance.
