Family Court & Custody Evaluations
Family court decisions turn on the quality of the information in front of the judge. Dr. Campbell provides that information.
Dr. Campbell conducts psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for California family court matters — child custody and parenting-plan disputes, parental fitness questions, allegations of abuse or family violence, and reunification and move-away assessments. This includes the court-appointed work attorneys and parents know as a “730 evaluation” (Evidence Code §730), conducted consistent with California Rule of Court 5.220. Evaluations are built to forensic standards: multiple data sources, validated instruments, collateral interviews, and documentation that anticipates cross-examination.
Court orders and stipulations are accepted, as are attorney referrals for case consultation and review of existing evaluations. Where a child's autism, ADHD, or other neurodevelopmental profile is central to a parenting dispute, Dr. Campbell brings a level of assessment fluency most custody evaluators cannot — the difference between a parenting plan that names a diagnosis and one that actually accounts for it.
