Courts Can Order Counseling & Minor’s Counsel, Not Therapy
My name is Jon D. Alexander, Esq. and I am an Orange County, California Divorce Attorney. This article is the eighth article in a series outlining the divorce process in California. Please be aware that this article is not intended as and should not be relied upon as legal advice or as the creation of an attorney-client relationship.
Today’s article explains, briefly, counseling under Family Code Section 3190. This section provides instruction on counseling of parents and children. Generally, in a family code proceeding regarding custody or visitation, the court can order any or both parties and the children into outpatient counseling with a mental health professional and if a necessary a substance abuse program.
