AI Summary
This bill requires that court-ordered forensic evaluations involving child custody and visitation be conducted by a licensed psychologist, social worker, or psychiatrist who has completed a training program developed by the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence within the last two years. The training program covers topics such as the dynamics and effects of domestic violence and child abuse, tactics of abuse, and the danger of basing custody decisions on claims of a deficient relationship caused by the other parent. The bill also requires evaluators to notify the court if they no longer meet the training requirement, and for the court to verify the evaluator's certification upon appointment.
