How To Impress A Custody Evaluator

By Laura Cooper


A misunderstanding between parents affects the children so much. If the two of them have to separate, they will have to decide on who will stay with the children and the court may send a custody evaluator to give his opinion. The following are some of the ways in which you can impress this expert and have him writing a report in your favor.

The professional expects you to be cooperative by adhering to all the requirements given by the court and his office. For instance, if you are asked to collect signatures from your area leaders and family members, failing to do so could draw a lot of conclusions. It could mean that you are disrespectful to the court. The professional may even conclude that the people did not cooperate because they do not like you.

You must be honest when giving your answers. The professional is trained and will easily detect when you are lying to him. If he suspects you are not telling the truth, he may conduct his own research. In case he realizes that he was right about his suspicions, he will conclude that you are not trustworthy and this is reflected in his report and suggestion made to the court.

Keeping time is a good way to prove that one is organized. Ensure that one is not late for the appointment and complete any given assignments on time too. The professional will also feel that you value his time as he works with a tight schedule and failing to show up on time will inconvenience him. Keep the dates and make the necessary adjustments to your schedule.

You should portray a good relationship between you and the kids. The court wants the children to end up with a parent they are happy being around. If he visits your home, it is good to prepare the food that they love and even play their favorite games together. If they make mistakes, correct them in a friendly manner.

As a parent, a big portion of your future plans should revolve around your children. When an expert inquires about your plans, he simply wants to know what you are willing to do for them to have a more comfortable life. The details you give him should be realistic and achievable. Do not make him feel that you are just making up your plan to impress him.

Try to be positive in your conversations. You should not spend a lot of time discussing the weaknesses of your partner. This is about the kids and not about your differences. If you do not focus on the children, the expert may conclude that you will not focus on them if given the custody. You will be too focused on getting back at your ex-partner.

The expert will also observe the environment one is living in before drafting his final report. Some of the things he will be concerned about include; security, the societal values in the area and even the people living in the house and within the compound. He will use these observations to determine how comfortable the children will be. Check that the environment is friendly.
