For Chad Kullhem for Chad Kullhem to have to fight for his children.
“It was really scary,” he said.

Shannon McShane was responsible for the evaluation of Kullhem and his ex-wife and then recommended custody. He says from the start that something felt like. He filed a complaint with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, also known as Dora.
The agency gave him McShane's registration information, including the Ph.D. She claimed to have received from a university in London, but the transcript did not look at and he went directly to this university with questions.
“You said 'yes, we didn't have how …' She created letter notes for her doctorate there. They were like 'We don't make any letter notes for the documents overview. We didn't have these programs as she did,” he said. “That was the proof I had.”
Mcshane had used these supposedly fake documents to become a licensed psychologist and addiction consultant in the state of Colorado. It was the key to recording her name to a nationwide list of qualified family investigators, and led to jobs in the Colorado Department of Corrections and Colorado Department of Human Services, where she worked at Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo Hospital for five years.

“It is absolutely heartbreaking that someone can get a doctorate that someone will receive their license, falsify their login information and get into a strong position with the court,” said Kullhem.
CBS Colorado asked Dora about her review process if someone applied for a professional license.
In a statement, a spokesman said: “If someone is trained in the USA, the department will check all information with US institutions. In this case, Ms. Mcshane was trained outside the United States. If this is the case, all documents will be set up by checking third-party providers.”

CBS Colorado asked the same question to both state departments that McShane commissioned, who, as partner -state agencies, say that they rely on Dora's review process.
A spokesman for corrections added: “I can confirm that we have checked your login information according to this process.” In a statement, the Ministry of Human Services said: “The hospital has completed a primary source check in which the hospital and the Ministry of Supervisory Authorities confirm the license instead of relying on the candidate who provides a copy.”
Finally, Colorado's Attorney General hired an investigation that ended an indictment against 15 points With charges such as falsification and attempt to influence an official.
“She affected many people,” said Kullhem.
He is now closely observing the criminal proceedings, but his concern is with other families and warns them to carry out their research.
“I am sure there are people out there who are permanently affected that have no idea what to do,” he said.
CBS Colorado asked Dora whether changes had been made. A spokesman partially said: “The internal process of the division was examined again after Ms. McShane's transcripts were questioned. However, no immediate internal process changes were required. However, the department continues to examine how it can better ensure the validity of the documents approved by external units.”
A request for McShan's comments for this story was unanswered. She will return to court in April.
