What is a Parenting or Custody evaluation?

A Parenting or Custody evaluation is an assessment of each spouse's parenting skills. 

In a proper evaluation, a comprehensive investigation into each spouse's psychological makeup, parenting skills, and other factors is conducted and the results are weighed in an attempt to determine the best custody arrangements.
