Bonus Coaching: When Your Ex Suddenly Becomes the “Perfect Parent” During a PRE Evaluation


Listen Later

What happens when the parent who was minimally involved suddenly becomes “Parent of the Year” once court professionals start watching?

In this Friday Coaching Corner episode, we’re talking about a situation many protective parents quietly fear:

A second court evaluation where the abusive parent is seeking 50/50 parenting time and increased decision-making authority while pushing a narrative that the protective parent is exaggerating concerns or harming the child through over-medicalizing or overprotectiveness.

Meanwhile, the protective parent feels terrified of looking emotional, reactive, or “high conflict” while trying to advocate for their children’s safety and well-being.

If you are navigating a PRE, custody evaluation, or other family court professional process, this episode will help you think more strategically about grounding yourself, communicating clearly, and staying focused on your children’s needs.

Questions from this episode:

  • Can a PRE evaluator in Colorado recommend decision-making authority?
  • How do I show up credibly when my ex suddenly acts like the perfect parent once people are watching?
  • How do I talk about coercive control and my children’s wellbeing without sounding reactive or “high conflict”?
