Private Custody Evaluation
A private custody evaluation is a comprehensive assessment I conduct as a mental health professional to help the court decide what’s best for the child in custody disputes. I interview the parents, the child, and other significant individuals, and I observe interactions and conduct psychological testing. I review relevant documents and evaluate each parent's ability to provide a stable, supportive environment. This evaluation culminates in a detailed report with my recommendations, which assists the court in making an informed decision about custody arrangements that prioritize the child's well-being and development
