This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases
Custody evaluation summaries are critical for appellate review of trial court custody decisions, helping appellate attorneys identify errors in how evaluations were considered or weighted.
Appeals of family law custody decisions frequently turn on whether the trial court properly considered custody evaluator findings and recommendations, making evaluation analysis essential for appellate practice.
Custody evaluations inform guardianship provisions and parenting arrangements in estate planning documents when parents are creating wills and trusts involving minor children.
Estate planning attorneys need to understand custody arrangements and best interests analysis when drafting guardianship clauses, especially in cases involving divorced or separated parents with existing custody evaluations.
Custody evaluations may be relevant in personal injury cases involving parental capacity claims, wrongful death cases with custody disputes over surviving children, or cases where injuries affect parenting ability.
Personal injury attorneys may need to analyze custody evaluations when injuries impact a parent's custodial rights or when damages include loss of parental consortium or changes to custody arrangements.
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.

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.
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.
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.
