Questions

How does CaseMark handle multiple custody evaluations in the same case?

CaseMark can analyze multiple evaluation reports simultaneously and create a comparative analysis highlighting differences in methodology, findings, and recommendations. The summary identifies areas of agreement and conflict between evaluators, making it easy to prepare for challenges or reconcile differing expert opinions. This is particularly valuable in cases with dueling experts or updated evaluations.

Can the summary map evaluation findings to my state's specific best interests factors?

Yes. While CaseMark addresses common best interests factors used across jurisdictions, the summary is structured to allow easy mapping to your specific state's statutory requirements. The organized format presents findings in categories that align with typical custody factors, making it simple to adapt the summary to your jurisdiction's legal standards.

What if the custody evaluation includes psychological testing results?

CaseMark extracts and summarizes psychological testing results, including test names, scores, and the evaluator's interpretation of how these results relate to parenting capacity. The summary presents this technical information in an accessible format while maintaining the clinical accuracy necessary for legal proceedings. Direct quotations from the evaluator ensure precise representation of testing conclusions.

How detailed are the parenting time recommendations in the summary?

The summary provides comprehensive detail on all custody and parenting time recommendations, including legal and physical custody arrangements, regular weekday and weekend schedules, holiday and vacation provisions, and any conditions like supervised visitation or therapeutic requirements. Alternative recommendations and contingency plans proposed by the evaluator are also clearly documented for negotiation or court consideration.
