Protecting from False Allegations in Custody Battles

False allegations in custody battles can be weaponized to devastating effect. Join us for a candid conversation with attorney Evynne Fair, who brings her invaluable experience as a former child protective services worker, sheriff, and current attorney in Colorado. Together, we explore the stark realities of vindictive reporting, particularly how the "Me Too" movement can be misused to unfairly target male relatives. Evynne sheds light on the high stakes involved and emphasizes the need to acknowledge that deceit is not limited by gender, challenging some deeply held assumptions about honesty in these contentious disputes.Facing false accusations can trigger a whirlwind of emotional chaos. We discuss the critical importance of managing instinctual responses like anger and fear, which can lead to damaging behaviors such as making threats or spreading misinformation. With trusted allies and professional support, individuals can navigate these treacherous waters more effectively. The episode also touches on the dark side of modern technology, particularly the role of AI in creating doctored recordings, and the necessity for forensic experts to identify manipulation—despite the significant financial burden this imposes. When it comes to poorly conducted forensic interviews, the consequences can be dire. Evynne shares her insights into the alarming prevalence of inadequate training among forensic interviewers, recounting a specific case where a teenage girl’s interview was mismanaged, raising concerns about coaching and false narratives. We also delve into the complexities of dealing with false reports to Child Protective Services post-divorce, highlighting procedural hurdles and the varying quality of CPS caseworkers across states like Colorado and Nevada. Practical advice on staying calm, cooperating with CPS, and securing legal representation early on rounds out our comprehensive discussion on navigating these emotionally charged situations.
