Q: What is a social study in child custody cases in Texas?
A: A "social study" is a term previously used for what is now referred to as "child custody evaluations" in Texas. These evaluations are a vital component of child custody disputes and are conducted to determine the best interests of the child. Here's what happens during a child custody evaluation:
A licensed professional counselor, someone with a master's in social work, or a psychologist is involved.
They conduct interviews with both parents.
Observations of interactions between you and your children may be made.
Collateral witnesses, often provided by you and your attorney, are interviewed.
After gathering this information, the evaluator provides recommendations on conservatorship, possession, access, and potentially other related issues.
Child custody evaluations are a common occurrence in the vast majority of child custody cases where there is a dispute about which parent the children would be better off with.
Please note that this explanation is a general overview, and the specifics of the process can vary. It's crucial to consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.
