At Reunify Alaska, we conduct bonding assessments to carefully examine the relationship between a parent or caregiver and their child.

These assessments are vital in legal and child welfare contexts, providing key insights into the strength and nature of these important relationships. By observing interactions and analyzing attachment patterns, we assess how these bonds influence the child’s emotional and psychological development. Our findings help guide decisions in custody disputes, adoption cases, and reunification efforts, ensuring that the child’s well-being remains the top priority.

Whether you’re navigating legal matters, or a professional assigned to a child welfare case, our bonding assessments offer valuable perspectives to support the best outcomes for the family.

Melissa Skarbek, LCSW, our expert witness, is recognized as an expert in the third and fourth judicial districts of Alaska. Her expertise allows her to assess a wide range of issues, including risk factors in a child's environment—such as exposure to abuse, neglect, substance misuse, or domestic violence—and to recommend safety measures like custody arrangements and supervised visitation.

Her testimony helps the court make informed decisions that prioritize the child’s best interests.

Furthermore, Melissa’s training in child forensic interviewing ensures that all information is gathered in a developmentally appropriate and legally sound manner.
