Child Custody Evaluation
Develop an in-depth child custody evaluation outline by completing the following:
- Complete the referral question section and background history section of the report.
- Indicate which methodology you would use (including psychological testing).
- Design a format for your evaluation that answers the referral question. Remember, the referral question section in a forensic evaluation differs from one in a clinical evaluation and often includes information from the court order. This is an outline, so it is not necessary for you to include details of evaluee history and other data.
Evaluations: Fitness to Parent Versus Child Custody
Discuss the differences between fitness to parent evaluations and child custody evaluations. When would you use one rather than the other? Who is most likely to be the referring party (that is, type of court) for each? If you were to use an inappropriate evaluation, what are the possible repercussions?
