Are the recommendations from the child custody evaluation binding?

No, the recommendations from Child Custody Evaluation Services, Inc. are not binding. Our evaluations are designed to provide expert, impartial assessments of each family's unique circumstances and help inform the court's decision-making process regarding child custody. While our recommendations are highly regarded by judges and attorneys due to our expertise and professionalism, the final determination regarding custody is ultimately up to the court. The judge considers various factors, including our recommendations, along with other evidence and legal arguments before making a final decision. We aim to provide valuable insights and guidance, but it is ultimately the court's responsibility to determine the best interests of the child and make a binding decision.
