Child Custody Evaluations

Evaluations and Consultations for Child Custody

We provide comprehensive child custody evaluations that assess the best interests of the child. Our evaluations consider parenting skills, parent-child relationships, and the developmental needs of the child.

Child custody evaluations are often requested by family courts to provide objective, professional assessments that inform custody and visitation decisions. Our psychologists conduct these evaluations with sensitivity and thoroughness, understanding the profound impact these decisions have on families.

Our Evaluation Process Includes

• Individual interviews with each parent
• Parent-child observations
• Psychological testing of parents
• Review of relevant records (legal, educational, medical)
• Collateral contacts (teachers, therapists, family members)
• Home visits when appropriate
• Comprehensive written report with recommendations

Best Interests of the Child

Our custody evaluations are guided by the best interests of the child standard. We assess each parent's ability to provide for the child's physical, emotional, educational, and developmental needs. Our reports provide the court with objective, evidence-based findings to support informed decision-making.
