By Krystal Branch


A psychologist conducts psychological testing child custody. The expertise of these professionals is valuable to couples who are undergoing divorce proceedings. If the parents cannot agree as to who takes the kids, the court may appoint a psychologist to do the evaluation. The parents are evaluated.

There are things that you need to know in order to prepare you for this evaluation. You will be assigned a schedule. Make sure that you arrive on time because it will not look good if you will be late. It might give the psychologist a reason to doubt your sincerity in this proceeding. If you cannot simply take the responsibility to attend to this proceeding on time, how much more in attending to your kid's needs.

Before the court can assign the mother of the father for the guardianship of the kid, he needs to know first which of these parents has the capacity to raise or look after the kids. The psychologist is appointed by the court to determine the capability and the capacity of each parent in taking good care of their kid. The parent who will be found to be the most fitting can take home the kid.

In the evaluation, the parents are interviewed. Other psychologists also give written exams. It is advisable that you be honest in the interview and in the examination. It is no use to try to lie or dodge discreetly from these questions because they are made to uncover if the respondent is lying or not.

Parents should be responsible for the way they dress up in public and especially when with children or when there are children around. Again, what will be going on in the mind of the psychologist is that if you cannot take full responsibility with the way you dress, then there is no way you would be able to provide for you kids. The key here is to dress appropriately.

After all, it is the welfare of the kid that is at stake here. No parent would like to be apart from their kids unless something is really your with your head. If you are afraid, do not try to hide it. It would be useless also to try to head as psychologists are trained to read hidden thoughts. They can read your face.

Some parents would even cry during the interview and that is expected and understandable. For one, the parent is undergoing a divorce proceeding which is a very painful situation. Do try to hide your emotions because psychologists are experts at reading expressions.

Do not be late during the interview. You will be informed about your schedule with the psychologist. It is an obligation to attend to the interview on time. You are so ordered by the court to attend to this evaluation. Thus, you cannot just ignore this.

Just make sure you smell clean or the psychologist will think that your inability to look after yourself is also incapacity on your part to look after your kids. Remember that whatever it is that you lack can be used against you in your battle for your kids. These are just some of the things that you can prepare yourself with for psychological testing child custody.
