| Abstract | Courts order child custody evaluations to facilitate the process of determining the health, safety, welfare, and best interest of children in disputed custody and visitation situations. Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 1257.3 sets forth "[u]niform standards of practice for court-ordered child custody evaluations" that are consistent with Fam. Code § § 211 and 3117. These standards require evaluators to "observe and consider each party in comparable ways and to substantiate (from multiple sources when possible) interpretations and conclusions regarding each child's developmental needs; the quality of attachment to each parent and that parent's social environment; and reactions to the separation, divorce, or parental conflict" [Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 1257.3(e)(2)]. Furthermore, these standards suggest that the scope of the evaluation process may include psychological testing to confirm or question other information or previous conclusions [Cal. Rules of Ct., Rule 1257.3(e)(1)(B)]. |
