Custody Evaluations, Parenting Time Evaluations or Parenting Plan Evaluations
A custody or parenting plan evaluation addresses issues of custody and parenting time when there is disagreement. The evaluation consists of interviews with both parents, children (depending on their age), a home visit, and collecting information from multiple sources . The evaluation involves an in depth analysis of Minnesota Statute 518.167, The best interests of the child.
The process results in a full written report and recommendations to assist the parents or Court with the decision-making process.
Brief Focused Evaluations
In cases in which a full parenting time evaluation is not needed, Brief Focused Evaluations consider a specific issue related to a custody or parenting. The assessments provide information for the parents or Court to consider when making a decision. Common issues addressed by a BFA may include: school or activity choice, parenting time schedule, relocation, parent-child contact problems, specific allegations of questionable parenting, the effect of mental health or substance use, extended family relationships, etc.
Level 1

Level 2
The second level will include the above components as well as relevant valid and reliable assessments such as the Child Behavior Checklist, Parental Stress Inventory, various trauma assessments, and attachment assessments as deemed appropriate for the situation.
