Child Consultation - NT

Child Consultations can happen when both parents are engaged in either Family Dispute Resolution or Counselling.

With both parents’ consent, a child consultant specialist has a one hour appointment directly with the child/ren. The child consultant then has an appointment with the parents about one or two weeks later where the best outcomes for the children are discussed.

Research shows some of the benefits of Child Consultations include:

  • Greater improvement in the parenting alliance
  • Children report greater sense of closeness to both parents
  • Greater stability of care and contact patterns
  • Lower litigation
