Waiver of Confidentiality and Limits of Confidentiality in Court Ordered & Stipulated Cases
There is no privileged communication for any party in Court Ordered counseling, investigations, parenting plan coordinator, co-parenting, reunification therapy or custody evaluations. Exceptions are when order states confidential. All information obtained during our sessions may be reported to the Judge, mediators, therapists, the other party, attorneys, custody evaluators, other agents of the Court and persons designated by Mr. Rosen. I am agreeing to waive therapist/client confidentiality for my minor child and myself. I agree Mitchell Rosen shall not be called as a percipient witness. I also agree to permit Mr. Rosen to use photographs of my home, my family and myself if a child custody evaluation has been ordered. These photographs may not be published or posted but may appear in a report to the court. This waiver shall reamin in effect until court case is terminated.
Behavior in Sessions
There shall be no yelling, interupting, profanity, sarcasm, rolling of the eyes, or name calling permitted. If you disagree with what is being said by Mr. Rosen or any other person in the session, you may state your disagreement in a clear and polite manner. If Mr. Rosen believes your behavior is inappropriate, he may ask you to be quiet or leave the session. No recording of any session is permitted without the written permission of all participants. If a child records any persons in a session, the parent transporting the child or possessing physical custody at the time assumes responsibility. Individuals who violate this law are subject to criminal prosecution Under California Penal Code Section 632.
Agreement for Child Custody Clients
The fees for a 730, 3111 or 3118 custody evaluations are explained in Mr. Rosen's website: mrosenmft.com These are flat fees for 2 adults and 2 children and includes all interviews, review of docments and the final report. There is an additional fee for each additional adult and/or child. If home visits are determined by Mr. Rosen to be essential and your home is greater than one hour from Mr. Rosen's Corona or Temecula office there is an additional fee. Once the interviewing has begun, there will be no refunds as significant time has been invested.
Financial Agreement for Family Law Clients
I understand I am responsible to pay for services in accordance with the Judge’s Order regarding responsibility of payment. I am also responsible for paying for any report requested by the Court, my attorney or myself (if self-represented). If Mr. Rosen elects to accept a check and it is not negotiable for any reason a fee of $45.00 will be levied and after 30 days, the check may be submitted for criminal prosecution. I agree to give a minimum of 24 hours notice for any cancellations. Failure to do so may result in being financially responsible for the fees of both parties. I also understand Mr. Rosen charges for his time so any time spent reviewing documents, reading/answering emails or telephone calls, communicating with attorneys, therapist or other professionals are also charged.
Court Testimony
If the Court, my attorney or myself requests Mr. Rosen to testify or provide a deposition, there is a charge of $3,000.00 (three thousand dollars) for the am or pm session or $5,000.00 (five thousand dollars) for the entire day. The fee must be delivered to Mr. Rosen 10 (ten) business days before the testimony/deposition and must be in cashier’s check, credit card or cash (a check from an attorney’s office is acceptable.) The fee is charged if Mr. Rosen testifies for 1 minute, 7 hours or not at all. It is required that 72 hours notice is given if the testimony is not required or the entire deposit is forfeited.
