[quote=Anonymous]At least in Va, you would have to have a good reason to get it ordered. you can't just ask for an invasive procedure just because. So, make sure your attorney alleges some concerning behaviors, previous diagnosis, etc in order to get one ordered. Once one is ordered, these psychologists don't make a determination about safety or custody. It's truly just a diagnosis, concerns, traits, and recommendations. so, it would be up to the attorney to connect the dots to say, for example, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder to custody. You could also ask for a parental fitness evaluation as part of that. I think it could be valuable but also, once you ask for one, it could go the other way and the expert determines that there are no major mental health issues. If you are willing to run that risk, I would say you should do it. If you can afford it-you would to pay and it will be somewhere between 7-10K for a really good one[/quote]
