What are forensics?
Forensics is a process to determine who is the best psychological parent for the children. Who is more in touch with the children’s needs, emotionally, psychologically and socially. The Court will appoint a forensic evaluator, usually a psychologist, sometimes a social worker, occasionally a psychiatrist. This professional interviews both parents and the children. Usually they want to see the children twice, once with one parent, and once with the other parent. Do not sit and tell the forensic evaluator how horrible the other parent is. That actually makes you look bad. The evaluator wants to know why you are the best parent for the children. A forensic evaluator’s recommendations are listened to seriously by the Court, but not always followed. Some forensic evaluator’s take a very active role in the course of the case. Some do not. Some are biased. Some are not. You must disregard this and take the forensic evaluator very seriously.
