"The Kids are Alright (or Are They?) An Anatomy of a Child Custody Evaluation" with Dr. Christina Hansen (Part 1 of 2) on Breaking Free: A Modern Divorce Podcast #169
Is a custody evaluation worth it? What goes into a custody evaluation report? Everything you need to know about child custody evaluations (also called parenting plan evaluations or social investigations) in this riveting and deeply important episode. In this 2 part episode, Rebecca Zung, Esq. and Susan Guthrie, Esq. are interviewing highly respected and experienced psychologist Dr. Christina Hansen, who provides insight about the process of doing an evaluation, from the moment she is appointed through the time she submits her report to the court, and beyond. What is the process? Who does she interview? Whether it's a highly volatile situation, there's addiction, domestic violence, abuse, parental alienation, or one parent wants to relocation (move away), a custody evaluator must determine what timesharing plan or which parent should have ultimate decision-making authority. What is going to be in the best interests of the child or children? The parenting plan evaluator's job is gravely important in a divorce case, and Dr. Hansen provides all the details on what she does in this special two part interview.
