COURT TESTIMONY AND FEES: If your counselor is called to testify in a custody dispute, child protection case, etc., the counselor will only describe observable events and may offer opinions only within that person’s scope of licensure. LCSW’s and LPC's are not qualified as “custody evaluators” and your counselor will make this known to all court personnel as required by ethical obligation. The counselor will not be recommending and/or advising the courts with regards to a client’s custody arrangements. If your counselor is subpoenaed to court to testify on your behalf, Dayspring Center for Christian Counseling, LLC will charge $200/hour to cover travel time, to and from the office, preparation, and time spent in court. This is not covered by insurance and will be an out of pocket expense. Clients will be required to pay a retainer up front of $1,000 directly to Dayspring Center for Christian Counseling, LLC prior to the court proceedings. Any remainder of this money will be returned to the client once the therapist is no longer needed for the court proceedings.
