Dr. Perlmutter's discussion will include an overview of the phases of a child custody evaluation, focusing on how to prepare your client from the appointment order (FL-327), and the attorney's initial call with the evaluator, through the evaluation processes, to your review of the final report and meetings thereafter. Dr. Perlmutter will also discuss the nuances between disclosed "reviewing experts" (EC733) and confidential "consultants" to clients. Finally, he will give guidance on what to look for in a custody evaluation report if you do not have a reviewing expert.
