Expert Witness

High-conflict custody cases require more than emotion—they require expertise. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, and clinical expert in parental alienation and reunification, Rebecca Inman, LMHC, provides objective, trauma-informed evaluations and testimony in complex family law proceedings. Rebecca is frequently retained by attorneys and courts seeking clear, clinically grounded interpretation of behaviors and patterns in families affected by alienation, coercive control, and estrangement. Her testimony helps distinguish between manipulation and legitimate protective parenting, bringing clarity to emotionally charged disputes that often involve conflicting narratives.

Rebecca’s areas of expertise include parental alienation, reunification therapy, religious alienation, attachment disruption, and trauma response. She provides clinical evaluation of treatment appropriateness, compliance, and therapeutic progression, as well as assessment of the use of faith or belief systems as tools of rejection, control, or identity conflict. Her testimony clarifies attachment-based symptoms in children of high-conflict divorce and offers the court a clear understanding of family system dynamics.

As an expert witness, Rebecca’s role is to inform the court—not to advocate for either side. She provides impartial, evidence-based findings that illuminate the psychological and relational context of the case. Her work involves reviewing comprehensive case files, including court records, therapy notes, and collateral documentation, and producing written affidavits and expert reports that meet the highest professional standards. Rebecca also offers in-person or virtual testimony regarding family dynamics, therapeutic progress, and reunification barriers. She works closely with attorneys to ensure that cases are presented in a clinically sound and ethically informed manner.

Rebecca’s dual background as a clinician and Supreme Court Family Mediator provides an uncommon perspective on the intersection of psychology and law. She communicates complex psychological concepts in a way that is clear, relatable, and precise, helping judges and attorneys make informed decisions that reflect the best interests of the child. Her testimony is grounded in research, clinical observation, and a deep understanding of trauma, attachment, and developmental psychology.

She has provided expert services in family court custody disputes, dependency and Chapter 39 proceedings, guardian ad litem cases, reunification and supervised visitation reviews, and evaluations involving claims of parental alienation or emotional abuse. In every case, Rebecca maintains strict neutrality and ethical integrity. She does not provide therapy to the parties in cases where she serves as an expert witness, ensuring there is no conflict of interest. Her purpose is to offer clarity, structure, and clinical insight in situations where confusion and emotional escalation often dominate the process.
