A 6-year-old child has been brought in by his mother for counseling. She wants you to explain to him why he is in therapy because she feels like she doesn't have the right words, and it could scare him. How do you handle obtaining consent for the child?

A. If the parents are divorced, review the custody papers. Joint custody means both parents must consent.

B. Determine the marital status of the family. If the parents are still married, then both must consent.

C. If the parents are divorced, review the custody papers. Determine whether one or both parents must consent.

D. If the parents are divorced, review the custody papers. Either parent may consent if they are the biological parent.
