evaluation

I have had a bumpy divorce (like they all seem to be) but I had requested a 730 evaluation be done on my stbx we are both to pay half of the cost. Josh has attempted suicide and had wrote a letter to me blaming me saying everything was my fault left a letter for my (at the time) 4 year old son to do the same thing when he gets older. I also recieved a 2 page letter written in his blood to me. I am currently a military member and have just purchased my first house (thanks to the VA loan for $0 down) my mother is moving out to kansas which is where I am stationed to get herself a better life. I had just recieved my son from california on a monday to have the 730 evaluator call me demanding my son be sent back to california for more interviews that thursday because he apparently recieved vital information from someone who he could not tell me or what it was about so I will not recive me son back untill two weeks later. Is this legal? not only have I seen my son for a total of 4 days in 2 months but trying to explain this to my son killed me. Is there anything I can do this is the 3rd time this has happened?

Answers for "evaluation"  (2) (You must be logged in to answer)




if a court ordered evaluator tells you to jump, you do it - it is 100% legal - just remember, you invited this evaluator into your lives, so the consequences of it are kinda on you. (sorry, don't mean to sound unsympathetic - I realize it has to hurt not getting to be with your son)

 

The problem is in where the case is being heard - and since it was filed in CA, the fact you moved (reassigned or by choice) you lose out. If you were still in CA, seeing your son wouldn't be an issue - but now you have to deal with out of state custody & visitation issues...they tend to lean towards children being away for bulk periods of time...you are unfortunaltey getting a taste of it sooner than expected.

You have a complicated case - and this investigator is doing a very thorough job to ensure the best possible outcome for the child in the long run.

Please post this to legal. We have an atty. who volunteers on here and she will definitely see this if you will post it to legal. Her name on here is spaznskitz. She tries to get on here at least once a day so her answer may not be immediate.
