I’m beginning to realize that the amount of subjectivity involved with custody evaluation findings and conclusions is almost absolute, when you have two fit parents; meaning that somebody could ask the same questions and take the answers from a child to those questions and come up with recommendations that cover the entire spectrum from award sole custody to joint custody to an equal custody award.
The custody evaluators don’t want anyone to know this. I think the court would be shocked to review a custody evaluators findings and conclusions against the actual objectively verifiable data that the evaluator used to reach those findings and conclusions.
Kind of a glass half empty glass half full scenario.
“The glass is half full means award custody to ______.”
“No, the glass is half empty, which means award custody to ______ instead.”
See?
I think a court would be scandalized if it compared to what the custody evaluators make of the data to the data themselves.
