Child Custody Evaluation
Find a Conversation

It's finally happening. My STBX requested a child custody evaluation. I initially agreed but said I wouldn't pay for it, so I guess he decided to pay for the whole thing. Anyway, we're meeting with the child custody evaluator next Tuesday 9/27.
I'm nervous, but I'm also looking at it as my opportunity to be able to tell someone that he is verbally/emotionally abusive and a chronic liar and then lay out the facts. I tape the phone conversations he has with our kids, and so I have some inappropriate comments he's made to the children on tape. My attorney said they wouldn't be allowed in court, but that I can play them for the custody evaluator.
He's saying that my dad hits our son (UNTRUE!) and that my mom is unfit to watch our children (also UNTRUE!).
Has anyone gone through a custody evaluation?

I'm pretty sure that varies from state to state. I think that some states, only one party has to be aware. But I really am not sure. Ask your lawyer.
I'm sending strong & confident vibes your way.......
Remember.... take a note pad.... write down notes so that you have the opportunity to *remember* things.... AND to delay your response while you think..... and BREATHE.
