Mindful Child Custody provides a new compass for divorced parents navigating the murky waters of child custody litigation in the face of the increasing erosion of their constitutional rights.

Based on over one-thousand child custody cases from throughout the United States, this book will empower you to take on the corrupted system armed with the latest scientific research and forensic science relating to the crucial bond between child and parent-both maternal and paternal.

As author Herman Gill, PhD, a specialist in early childhood attachment and development, points out, the need for emotional bonding is a psychological imperative and biological necessity so important that human evolution-and civilization itself-couldn't have made it this far without it.

Making the case that only when solid forensic evidence of parental harm can be presented should a parent's rights be denied, he eviscerates the court's use of persons other than parents in making major decisions for their child, forced separations, and thwarted parental upbringing of children as harmful in and of themselves.

A devastating critique of the present child custody judicial practices, this book offers divorced parents a new approach and calls for a reform, a revolution, and most importantly, an awakening
