Custody Evaluators

Custody evaluators are professionals who assess family situations during custody disputes, typically in divorce cases. They gather information about the parents, children, and family dynamics through interviews, observations, and psychological testing. Their goal is to determine what arrangement would be in the best interest of the child. After their evaluation, they provide a report to the court, which may influence custody decisions. These evaluators may be psychologists, social workers, or other qualified professionals with expertise in child development and family law. Their recommendations help the court make informed decisions about parenting plans and custody arrangements.
