If parents are divorced, our office needs a copy of the most recent court order showing primary custody or tiebreaker, or the consent of both parents.
Divorce, Separation, and Custody Agreements
Building Blocks Family Counseling will not be party to custodial, separation, or financial disputes relating to individuals with regard to minor children to whom services are provided. The individual who requests the counseling services and signs the financial agreement is responsible for any balance due. All co-pays, co-insurance, and deductible, if applicable, will be collected at the time services are rendered from the individual requesting the counseling services for the minor child/children. We expect consent from both parents for therapy services. The therapist will discuss the minor’s therapeutic information with the accompanied parent with the time of the visit. Building Blocks Family Counseling will provide a copy of any records requested, all though we reserve the right to charge a fee. Both parents have access to the minor child’s records, unless there is a court order that specifically mandates only one of the parents has the right to authorize treatment and release of the minor’s records.
