Family Law Evaluations
LexMente offers psychiatric evaluations tailored for family court proceedings. These assessments focus on the emotional well-being of children, parental capacity, and the psychological dynamics of families going through transitions or disputes.
With expertise in both mental health and legal standards, our evaluations are designed to support attorneys, courts, and child welfare professionals in making informed, child-centered decisions.
Custody & Parenting Capacity
We assess each parent’s ability to provide a stable, nurturing, and safe environment. These evaluations help guide custody decisions by examining mental health, parenting strengths, and family dynamics.
Parental Fitness
This evaluation focuses on identifying potential risks to a child’s emotional or physical well-being. We assess mental illness, substance use, or behavioral concerns that may affect parenting.
Domestic Violence Impact
We evaluate how exposure to domestic violence affects a parent’s mental health and parenting capacity, as well as the emotional and psychological impact on children involved.
Reunification Assessments
Used when reuniting children with a previously separated parent, this assessment determines readiness, emotional safety, and any mental health needs for a healthy transition.
Divorce-Related Mental Health Reports
These evaluations help clarify the emotional effects of divorce on children or parents, providing insight into anxiety, adjustment issues, or co-parenting conflict.
