A quick definition of custody evaluation:

A custody evaluation, also known as a home-study report, is when a social worker investigates a child's home, family environment, and background. This is usually done when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect, or when potential adoptive parents are being considered. The report summarizes the findings of the investigation and helps determine what is in the best interest of the child.

A more thorough explanation:

A custody evaluation, also known as a home-study report or social study, is an investigation into a child's home, family environment, and background. It is usually conducted by a social worker when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. It can also be conducted when evaluating potential adoptive parents.

  • When a child is removed from their home due to abuse, a social worker will conduct a custody evaluation to determine if the child can safely return home.
  • Before a child is placed with adoptive parents, a custody evaluation will be conducted to ensure that the child will be placed in a safe and stable environment.

These examples illustrate how a custody evaluation is used to assess the safety and stability of a child's home environment. It is an important tool in ensuring that children are placed in homes where they can thrive and be protected from harm.
