Child Custody Evaluator

A Child Custody Evaluator is a trained professional, often a psychologist or social worker, who assesses family dynamics to help determine the best living arrangements for children following a separation or divorce. They gather information through interviews, observations, and sometimes psychological testing, focusing on the children's needs and the parents' abilities to provide a safe, nurturing environment. Their findings and recommendations are typically presented to the court to aid in making custody decisions that prioritize the children's well-being. This process aims to ensure that children have stable and supportive relationships with both parents when possible.
