A Child Custody Evaluation is done to make sure that the children in a divorce proceeding end up with the right parent.  At times, it is hard to determine the best setting for the kids.  Just because a parent ends up on their own trying to support the kids, doesn’t mean they won’t be able to provide for them.  On the other hand, just because one party has to move out of the marital home and back in with their parents doesn’t mean they won’t be able to provide for the kids on his or her own either.  The evaluation will determine who can provide better for the children.

When you have seperated from your partner it is stressful enough. Legal rights for custody can push this stress to unimaginable levels. When this happens it is often the case that parents tend not to think rationally and their actions or decisions can have not just a negative effect on children but can ultimately mean losing a custody hearing or worse, losing visitation rights all together! Any good family law child custody specialist will tell you how important it is to keep your cool regardless of how you may be feeling towards your ex-partner. If you think that he or she is being unreasonable then keep a diary. Make sure you note down everything. Showing in a court room that you have been flexible and made all efforts to be involved with your childrens life and welfare will impress.
