Court Trends: The Trouble with Letting the Children Decide - Bill Eddy

Court Trends: The Trouble with Letting the Children Decide Some states and court systems are considering letting children as young as 14 years old have the right to make decisions about whether to have a relationship with one of their parents, if the child can demonstrate sufficient maturity and independence to make such a decision. This would be a huge mistake and based on a complete misunderstanding of family dynamics. This presentation will address current laws being considered, as well as the psychological reasons that children are unable to make “mature and independent” decisions like this in dysfunctional families, especially when children are alienated or estranged from a parent. Knowledgeable adults must be the decision-makers in such cases. William A. (“Bill”) Eddy is an attorney, therapist, mediator, and the Chief Innovation Officer of the High Conflict Institute based in San Diego, California. He provides training to professionals on the subject of managing high-conflict personalities and all forms of disputes. He has presented in over 35 states in the U.S., 7 provinces in Canada, and 12 other countries. Mr. Eddy is the author of several books, including BIFF for Lawyers and Law Offices (2024); Mediating High Conflict Disputes; High Conflict People in Legal Disputes; and Splitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone with Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He is the developer of the New Ways for Families® skills training method for potentially high conflict parents in separation and divorce cases, which is being used in over a dozen family court jurisdictions.
