We also ask that both parents are involved in your child’s treatment and/or evaluation, including the progress of treatment, in order to maintain the most ethical practice. The exception to these stipulations is in the case of alleged child abuse and/or an on-going investigation, or services provided under a court order.

      In order to release any records to a third party, both parents’ written consent must be obtained. Additionally, in the case of family therapy or parenting consultation, in which both parents are present to discuss their child/children, written consent from both parties is required to release records to either client or to a third party.
    • In many divorce cases there are court agreements that states the payment schedule for each parent; as either an amount or percentage. Please note The Nicholls Group is not responsible for collecting divided payments from each parent, and that the bill is due at the time of the service. In the case of an evaluation, each parent is responsible for the entirety of his or her portion of the bill PRIOR to the evaluation being performed.
