Areas of Practice

fAMILY COURT EVALUATIONS

Palmetto Family Enrichment Center accepts court ordered referrals for situations involving disputed custody and questions about parenting capacity.  Of the types of evaluations, parenting assessment typically involves individual psychological evaluations of parents or parent figures, with particular focus on a set of parenting competencies which has been determined to be important for the wellbeing of the raising of children.  The other type of evaluation typically ordered by family court would be a comprehensive custody/parental access evaluation which includes not only parenting assessment for the parental figures involved, but also individual assessment of any minor children, and possibly interviews with other relevant figures such as a step-parent or fiancé or grandparent depending upon the nature of the family situations.  This type of evaluation also involves joint interviews with each parent and child,  contacts with important figures and this might include other relatives, medical providers, or therapists.  This type of evaluation can lead to specific recommendations regarding custody arrangements for minor children.
