Louisiana Motion and Order for Psychological Evaluation

Q: Can judge order mental evaluation?

The judge must have proof of the parent&#039;s mental health issues, before it will even consider ordering a psychological evaluation. Before requesting the court to order a mental heath evaluation of your ex, you should consider that these evaluations are very expensive, and that they are rarely ordered.

FAQ

During the evaluation, you may be asked to complete blood work, a urine test, or a brain scan to rule out any physical conditions. You may also be asked to answer questions about drug and alcohol use to confirm your experience is not a side effect.

The judge must have proof of the parent's mental health issues, before it will even consider ordering a psychological evaluation. Before requesting the court to order a mental heath evaluation of your ex, you should consider that these evaluations are very expensive, and that they are rarely ordered.

Unless you challenge the evaluator - assuming that there is a legitimate, substantive basis to do so - the court will never know the problems with or deficiencies in the report and may rightfully assume that there are no problems or deficiencies. Thus, the burden is on the litigant to prove, argue and persuade.

Understanding Psychiatric Evaluations The initial evaluation will explore many aspects including developmental history, medical history, family history, social and environmental influences, academic/work concerns, and emotional and cognitive (thinking) strengths and weaknesses.

For example, in court-ordered evaluations, the court may be the identified client. In other circumstances, a referring state child protection agency or an attorney may be the identified client.
