Daniel is a counselor who has begun counseling 8-year-old twins, Jaxson and Jillian, after their mother Marilyn contacted him about separating from her abusive husband. Marilyn reports the husband calls her names, slaps, kicks, and punches her, and has thrown Jaxson violently on the bed. Marilyn plans to relocate with the children to Canada to escape the abuse. Some key considerations for Daniel are the children's safety and well-being, assessing their experiences with their father, and maintaining confidentiality. The father would have rights to the children's medical information under California law but Daniel should avoid disclosing details without a court order or evidence of risk of harm
