	Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Divorce Proceedings
		Psychologists generally avoid conducting a child custody evaluation in a case in which the psychologist served in a therapeutic role for the child or his or her immediate family or has had other involvement that may compromise the psychologist's objectivity.
		Although comprehensive child custody evaluations generally require an evaluation of all parents or guardians and children, as well as observations of interactions between them, the scope of the assessment in a particular case may be limited to evaluating the parental capacity of one parent without attempting to compare the parents or to make recommendations.
		A psychologist conducting a child custody evaluation ensures that the participants, including children to the extent feasible, are aware of the limits of confidentiality characterizing the professional relationship with the psychologist.

	Custody and Visitation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		While he is in one parent’s home, that parent is treated as the “custodial parent” and the other parent is treated as the “noncustodial parent”; when he is in the second parent’s home, that parent is the custodial parent and the other parent is treated as the noncustodial parent.
		A joint physical custody arrangement in which the child stays with one parent for a long period of time (e.g., 6 months, or a year), and then lives with the other parent for a long period of time is sometimes called alternating, or serial, custody.
		The fact that the custodial parent has moved the child to a neighborhood that is hostile to the child's race, however, is a constitutionally impermissible basis for a modification of custody, even if there is considerable evidence that the move substantially endangers the safety and health of the child.

	Custody and Visitation Law
		The question of "What gets custody of the kids?" is one of the most difficult and often the most emotionally draining both for parents and their children, when spouses divorce.

		Joint Legal custody is where the parents share care and control of the upbringing of the child, but the child has only one primary residence.

	Child Custody
		Sole Legal Custody -- one parent will have the right and responsibility to make major decisions regarding the child's welfare, for example, where the child goes to school, what religion the child will be raised in and what sort of medical care the child should receive.
		Sole Physical Custody -- a child will reside with and be under the supervision of one parent, with reasonable visitation granted to the other parent unless the court determines that visitation would not be in the child's best interests.
		Sole legal custody may be appropriate if communication between the parties has completely broken down, one parent has abandoned the family, or if there are domestic violence or substance abuse issues within the family.

	Custody and Access 1
		Most parents negotiate their custody and access arrangements, either on their own directly, with lawyers (that is, without starting litigation, or after an interim court order is made), or with the help of others who assist in dispute resolution.
		Many claims for joint custody by fathers are based on a desire to share in decision-making, rather than a desire to share in the day-to-day caregiving of children.
		Custody is increasingly being split into smaller units, e.g., decision-making regarding religion, education, health, etc. This is a "back-door" entry into joint custody and is often used to obtain greater levels of control by access parents.

	Child custody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Child custody and guardianship are legal terms which are sometimes used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child.

	Custody
		Legal custody refers to the rights and obligations associated with major decisions affecting the child's life, including those relating to health, schooling, religious instructions and other issues with long term implications for the child.
		By statute, the court must enter an award of custody that "will best promote the interest and welfare of the child...." Although this mandate is simple in theory, it is quite difficult to implement in practice.
		This possibility for avoidance of court proceedings often allows for an amicable resolution of difficulties between separating parties, eliminates the uncertainty of the outcome, and assists the child in adapting to his or her new way of life by sparing the child and the parties the trauma of litigation.

		The possibility of "winning" in court, paired with the emotional dynamics of divorce, encourages parents to enter into custody disputes, which only increases conflict between them -- and conflict is a major cause of lasting psychological damage to children of separating spouses.
		Furthermore, custody evaluators oftentimes administer to parents and children an array of tests to assess which custody arrangement might be best.
