Ghosting has become a way to end abruptly short/casual relationships. It is the practice of ending a personal relationship suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. Nowadays at family courts, the quality of psychology expert witness reports is limited to transcribe the interviewed person words, without applying any professional method tending to elaborate a diagnosis.On the other side, usually the formal procedures mandated by the law are not followed, may be due to the excessive amount of work. These two reasons lead to impose home exclusion or different kind of restrictions to see one or more members of the family, measures that facilitate de abrupt termination of the family bond, developing serious psychological consequences to the excluded person. Attempts are made to warn about the need for real expert reports that help judges to improve decision-making, to not facilitate long term family relationships ending.
