Can we mediate disputes even after the divorce is finalized?  

Yes, post-decree mediation is a helpful tool for resolving issues that come up after the final judgment—like changes in parenting time, disagreements over medical care, or educational decisions. It’s often faster and less stressful than going back to court.

Do custody evaluators talk to the child?  

Yes, custody evaluators usually speak with the child, observe parent-child interactions, and gather information from schools, doctors, and therapists. These interviews help evaluators form opinions about the child’s needs and which custody arrangement serves their best interest.

Will my child be interviewed during a custody evaluation?  

Often, yes. The evaluator may speak with the child in a neutral setting to understand their preferences, comfort level with each parent, and any concerns. The evaluator’s report helps inform the court’s final custody determination.
