    Default How to Get a Court to Order Investigation of the Other Parent and His Home

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Indiana
    I have a custody case in May. I want to ask the judge for a mental evaluation on my sons dad and also a evaluation of his home. How would I go about asking for that to be done? Would I just suggest that he do one? Or would the judge do one anyways because its a custody case?

    Just stop. (Posting hx.)

    If the judge orders a psychological evaluation, you do realize that you'd have to do one, also? And I doubt very seriously that you'd show up as any kind of normal.

    You can petition the court to order a professional custody evaluator to investigate your case and make an evaluation to the court. Such an investigation would include you and your proposed home environment, including consideration of your abusive boyfriend. It would likely cost $5,000 or more, and as the party making the request you can expect to pay at least half of the cost.

    No, the judge would not do one anyway because its a custody case. You would have to file a motion asking the judge to do a psychological evaluation and a home evaluation. However you need to have some basis for your request because both are expensive and the judge isn't going to force that kind of cost on anyone without a good reason.

    Well, we have Mom who has:

    Ignored a court order, lived with a violent felon, subjected the child to domestic violence, and voluntarily handed over the child to Dad so that she - mom - can get herself together.

    And then we have Dad.

    No brainer.

    I decided not to hand my child over to him actually. So he doesn't have MY child. The longest he's ever had him was 3 days.

    Now you're changing your story.... how nice. In any event, the answer remains the same.

    Yeah, right.

    I wish I knew where in Indiana you lived. I'd so call CPS.

    I grew up with an alcoholic dad who hit my mom. He sobered up later on but the violence in the home had a big impact on my life. It colored every relationship and every decision I made until I got counseling and learned about how violence in the home affects kids.

    I wish you'd wake up to this.

    Cps has already been called by my sons POS dad and his "fiance". CPS didn't think anything was wrong here.
