What is the name of your state?Texas

My s/d has been seeing a physc. since her bio mom has filed for custody after 5 years. The first visit to the physc she had not seen her in 6-8 weeks. The dx. was anxiety due to parent child relationship. This was on the part of her mother when the 6 yr old found out what was going on. The doc also asked her where she would like to reside and she stated with her father and me. The doc stated there was no reason to see her again because she was a healthly normal intelligent child that did not need therapy or meds. Two weekend later she had a visit with her mom and told her mom about the nice doctor. Mother began to interrogate her about what she had told the doctor and threaten her with she will never see her again since she told the doctor that. It was several days after returning home she told us about the visit. the mother subjected to child to some horrible things. That I do care to mention. After speaking with the same doc. they stated for me to bring her back in. After speaking to the child she made the dx. of verbal and mental abuse and neglect. This dx was based on what the child had told her about these things going on over a course of time. When calling our atty. to tell her what the new dx was she stated we need to sign a medical release so that they could obtain this report. I guess the question I am getting at is what steps will/should the atty take after rcvd. of this report? She has been in court and we would like to know. What should we do as her caregiver and dad in protecting her before the next visit?

YOU don't do anything but support your husband in his decisions. You are a legal stranger and can be viewed by the court as interfering in the parent/child relationship.

Your husband should be leading the way with his daughter, explaining the legal process and that the child ONLY needs to tell the truth.

Let the attorney handle the matter and you stay on the sidelines.
