Custody Evaluations

Helping Courts Understand What’s Best for Your Child

In high-conflict custody cases, family courts often require a custody evaluation to determine the child’s best interests. ABC Therapy provides licensed clinical evaluations that assess parenting capacity, family dynamics, communication, and emotional safety—while prioritizing the well-being of the child.

We take a balanced, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach.
