Kids are first with her!

I’ve read opinions & opposing ideas on here. I’m not surprised bc if you’re in a court appointed parenting position you’re already dealing in a power struggle. Tahra is focused on the kids because it’s her job. She knows that they will grow up to make their own relationship & decisions. Children are...n’t “owned” by you, their individuals developing to adults. As divorced/separated parents our job s/be to focus on agree of core values allow & flexibility of exploration & experience, vs. controlling. Otherwise you teach the kids triangulation & cause further anxiety to the with division. What she says is-it’s time to be grown-up!

She considers the child first.

I was assigned Tahra Sinks about 3 years ago by the court due to ongoing court battle with my ex over a period of a decade. She started both of us with a clean slate in regard to my son. Time proved out the problems I had with my ex's care of my son were legitimate and ongoing. Tahra advocated for my... son's best interest. We are hopeful for his future thanks to her.

DO NOT HIRE HER! AWEFUL WOMAN

I was a client of Tahra Sinks. Specifically, she did not focus on what was in the children’s best interest. She belives that register sex offenders have the right to have sole custody of children. She was biased, used information to fit her agenda, she is not fair to all parties, she loves men that h...ave the power and money and did what she wanted regardless the legal parameters. She was forgetful on specifics, lost paperwork, did not tell the truth and over-billed charging interest when my bills were paid on time. I would not recommend using her legal services.

Failed us and our child

Ms. Sinks failed catastrophically. Do not allow the court to appoint her as a parenting coordinator to your case if it is at all complex, because she cannot handle the complexities of physical, sexual, or medical child abuse, mental illness, and parenting rights, despite assurances that she could. Sh...e delayed a reunification for three months while allowing the opponent to prejudice her severely with false documents and insane allegations. She ignored signs of child abuse despite being a mandatory reporter. For the pleasure of her services, she attempted to bill us nearly $20,000, despite the fact that we were the victims of a malignant opposing parent. She should be ashamed of herself, but apparently she is not.

Struggling

Did not listen very well during meetings and interrupts frequently. Did not seem focused or prepared for meetings by being familiar with my case. Did not seem to take all info into consideration and look at my case individually. Had a hard time being accurate and consistant in her emails. Struggl...ed with understanding the laws that apply to my situation.
