Custody & Parenting Evaluation
During difficult family transitions, we focus on what matters most: your children's well-being. Our thorough assessments provide clarity to help families find their way forward.
During your evaluation, we'll conduct comprehensive interviews with parents, children (when age-appropriate), and other important people in your children's lives. We'll explore parenting styles, family dynamics, communication patterns, and each parent's ability to meet their children's physical, emotional, and developmental needs.
Our assessment includes reviewing relevant documents, school records, medical information, and any previous court filings or protective services involvement. We'll observe parent-child interactions and assess factors like stability, safety, and each parent's capacity to support the children's relationships with the other parent.
We'll examine the children's adjustment, their expressed preferences (considering their age and maturity), and their unique needs. Our evaluation considers domestic violence history, substance use, mental health concerns, and any other factors that might impact the children's safety and well-being.
Together, we'll develop a comprehensive understanding of your family's situation. You'll receive detailed recommendations about custody arrangements, parenting time, and any services that might benefit your family during this transition.
This evaluation typically involves a thorough report that helps the court make informed decisions in your children's best interests. While this process can feel overwhelming, our goal is to provide clarity that supports your family's path toward healing and stability.
