handle is hein.ali/alifm0041 and id is 1 raw text is: THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE Fall 2025 Citations PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF FAMILY DISSOLUTION: ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CHAPTER 2. THE ALLOCATION OF CUSTODIAL AND DECISIONMAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHILDREN TOPIC 3. FACTFINDING § 2.13 Court-Ordered Investigation; Appointment of Guardian ad Litem or Lawyer for the Child Kan.App.2025. Com. (g) quot. in sup. In divorce proceedings, mother of three children challenged the trial court's admission of her psychological evaluation and parenting assessment in a child-custody hearing at the request of the guardian ad litem appointed to represent the children's interests, arguing that the state statute concerning investigations in child-custody proceedings could only require the mental health examinations of a child. Affirming, this court held that the statute could be used to order the psychological evaluations of parents in contested child-custody proceedings. The court cited the Principles of the Law of Family Dissolution: Analysis and Recommendations § 2.13 in noting that the statute expanded the investigator's authority, rather than contracted it, to permit the psychological examinations of parents for the purpose of determining the most beneficial custodial arrangement for their children.
