Motion for Custodial Evaluation

[FettsBabe]

Has anyone every went to court (filed a motion, had one filed against you, etc) regarding this? If so, what type of testimony do we give (parents, stepparents, counselors, etc). I'm trying to find out what a full-blown hearing is like.

Sorry, I do litigation work and this is way out of my territory.

Hello!!!! Anyone home??????

I'm home. Well, actually I'm at work. But to answer your question, I have no idea what's involved.


Is that a better answer than saying nothing at all?

 

[FettsBabe]

Yep, I can mark you off my list!

When I saw the thread title...I thought of Thurgood Jenkins from Half-Baked and I laughed. But when I read the details...I realized this has nothing to do with weed-smoking janitors and surprise drug tests?

Guessing here (after having been thru divorce recently and some minor custody squabbling).

Maybe something to do with evaluating custody? yuk yuk yuk

Seriously, is this something that will determine parenting time or determine if sole custody is an option? Sole custody is typically difficult to obtain these days unless the other parent is just a total waste (in jail, on drugs, alcoholic, sexually abusive, etc.).

Somehow taking legal advice from someone unsuccessful enough to be lingering aroung ATOT doesn't sound very prudent...

Ok. I'm not taking legal advice. I'm a paralegal myself. What I want to know is what happens at a Full-Blown Hearing for a Custodial Evaluation?

No, its not to determine custody. Its a modification due to a change in circumstances. We want a custodial evaluation performed. We are pretty sure it will come back in our favor. We already have Joint Custody. We want Primary Physical Joint Custody.

Yeah... I'm just gonna go back to optimizing the indexes on my tables.

Good luck with that, though.
