We perform this work from a systems perspective, focusing on solutions and problem-solving for your own family. Our job is never to judge any parent, rather, our role is to support the needs of your children and family as you transition into the next stage of your life. Our goal is to set you up for success and to individualize the planning for your family with the needs of your children in mind. We will meet with you and your children individually and will likely visit your home. We review court documents, communications, and speak with collateral contacts to aid in my assessment and planning for your family.

In a custody evaluation we will engage in a series of clinical interviews with each parent and child, home visits, and observations of the children with each parent. Additionally, we will complete interviews with outside professionals and collateral contacts over the course of a minimum 90-day day period. Referrals can be made to outside providers (e.g., substance abuse, mental health, etc.). All reports are completed with a focus on the children's best interests.

 

Custody Evaluations require a court order of appointment and consultation prior to accepting work.
