Tips In Getting Ready With Psychological Testing Child Custody

By Krystal Branch


You need to get ready for psychological testing child custody. It is very important to prepare yourself for this so that you have a better chance of taking home the kid. It is common in many divorce proceedings that the guardianship of the kid is not agreed by the couple.

The mother and the father should come to an agreement as to whom the kid shall live. But if both parents insist that the kid be in their possession, then that is the time that the court will appoint a professional to evaluate the psychological capacity of each parent to raise a kid. The one who will be found most fitting can bring home the kid and the latter shall live with him or her.

Mind your outfit when seeing the psychologist. The psychologist may be a little conservation when it comes to outfit of parents. As a parent, you must dress properly. You want to make a good impression on the psychologist based on your clothes alone.

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.

It is also not good for the kid to be parted from his parents. He needs the love and guidance of both parents but since the two cannot live anymore under one roof without biting each other's head off, the parent who will not live with the child shall be granted the right to visit him as needed or as per schedule. The court can appoint certain time or schedule for the other parent to visit the kid or to borrow the kid from the other parent.

For the father, a simple polo shirt or button up polo with or without a tie will do. Do not show up on slippers. The psychologist might think that you are taking this meeting lightly. He might not grade you well or you do not want to the odds to be against your favor just because of slippers. For them mothers, dress conservatively.

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.

Mark your calendar and block off the date. This appointment can make or break your claim for the kid's guardianship. You will be asked questions regarding your personal life and your behavior.

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.
