Child Custody Evaluations

Child custody evaluations are assessments conducted by mental health professionals to determine the best arrangement for a child's care after a separation or divorce. The evaluator gathers information through interviews, observations, and reports from parents, children, and others involved. They consider factors like the child's needs, parents’ relationships, and home environments to recommend custody and visitation arrangements that promote the child's well-being. The goal is to provide the court with objective guidance to make informed decisions about the child's future guardianship and care.
