Bill > A10328

This bill establishes a moratorium on the use of forensic child custody evaluators in family court proceedings by the office of court administration. It prohibits courts from ordering or allowing into evidence any "forensic custody report" prepared by these evaluators, who are licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, or social workers authorized to perform evaluations to assist the court in child custody or visitation determinations. The moratorium will remain in place until all eleven recommendations of the Blue-Ribbon Commission on forensic custody evaluations have been implemented.
