At Level Up Wellness Group, we recognize that children are often the quiet witnesses in high-conflict separations. Our Voice of the Child (VOC) assessments give children a safe, neutral space to express how they’re experiencing family transitions. These reports offer the legal system a developmentally appropriate summary of the child’s views, without placing the burden of decision-making on the child.
Jenny Taylor is an experienced family support provider, who completes these reports. She has worked closely with the legal community and courts and brings both compassion and clarity to this delicate process. Jenny uses child-centered techniques to build rapport, ensure emotional safety, and provide an honest reflection of the child’s experiences.
Our VOC assessments may be requested by:
Parents navigating a high-conflict complex seperation or divorce process
Lawyers or mediators looking for neutral third-party insight
Judges seeking to better understand the child’s lived experience
Voice of the Child Assessments are billed at $350.00/hour, and include interviews with the child, consultations with parents (individually), and report writing following court legal procedures.
