ABSTRACT

With that in mind, our approach is one that weds a standard model of child custody evaluation with an emphasis on following the case that perhaps is more typical of classic investigation, including of the criminal type. In other words, there is a specišc interest in determining the details and facts that can be supported or dismissed in situations of this sort, and the ability to do so is dependent sometimes upon the right kinds of inquiries and sometimes upon spontaneous and fortuitous events in the course of the case. Finally, when the endpoint is reached and the situation is either objectively unclear or has signišcant and unresolved subjective disparities, we provide some security-enhancing recommendations that may allow enough mutual conšdence that a more positive post-decree period may ensue.
