A quick definition of home-study report:

A home-study report is a summary of an investigation into a child's home, family environment, and background. It is usually prepared by a social worker when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. The report can also be prepared when investigating the home of potential adoptive parents. It helps to ensure that the child will be safe and well-cared for in their new home. Sometimes it is also called a custody evaluation or social study.

A more thorough explanation:

A home-study report is a document that summarizes an investigation into a child's home, family environment, and background. It is usually prepared by a social worker when a child has been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. The report can also be prepared after a similar investigation of the home of potential adoptive parents.

For example, if a child is removed from their home due to abuse, a social worker will conduct an investigation into the child's living situation, family dynamics, and any other relevant factors. The findings of this investigation will be summarized in a home-study report, which will be used to determine the best course of action for the child's future.

Another example is when a couple is looking to adopt a child. Before the adoption can take place, a social worker will conduct a home study to ensure that the potential adoptive parents are suitable and capable of providing a safe and stable home for the child.

Overall, a home-study report is an important tool used in family law to ensure the safety and well-being of children.
