California Child Custody Evaluation Order (Family Law-11.16F) is a court order that requires a mental health professional to conduct an evaluation of the circumstances of a family law dispute involving the custody of minor children. This evaluation is intended to provide the court with the information it needs to make a decision on the best interests of the children. The evaluation is conducted by a qualified mental health professional and includes input from the parties involved, as well as any other relevant parties. The evaluation typically involves interviews, observation, record reviews, psychological assessment, and other appropriate procedures. The evaluation should be conducted in a neutral and impartial manner and be completed within a reasonable timeframe. There are two types of California Child Custody Evaluation Order (Family Law-11.16F): an expedited evaluation and a full evaluation. An expedited evaluation is typically conducted when there is an urgent need for a decision, such as when there is a risk of harm to the children or when the court needs an immediate decision. A full evaluation is typically used when there is more time available and the court needs a more detailed evaluation in order to make an informed decision.
