Prep Up For Psychological Testing Child Custody

By Krystal Branch


You need to get ready for psychological testing child custody. It is very important to prepare yourself for this so that you have a better chance of taking home the kid. It is common in many divorce proceedings that the guardianship of the kid is not agreed by the couple.

There are things that you need to know in order to prepare you for this evaluation. You will be assigned a schedule. Make sure that you arrive on time because it will not look good if you will be late. It might give the psychologist a reason to doubt your sincerity in this proceeding. If you cannot simply take the responsibility to attend to this proceeding on time, how much more in attending to your kid's needs.

Mind your outfit when seeing the psychologist. The psychologist may be a little conservation when it comes to outfit of parents. As a parent, you must dress properly. You want to make a good impression on the psychologist based on your clothes alone.

There are many factors considered by the court in choosing the rightful parent and this does not necessarily conform to the relationship of the kid with each parent. Sometimes the kid is closer to the father or to the mother. It is understandable that each parent will do everything in their power to possess the kid.

Parents should be responsible for the way they dress up in public and especially when with children or when there are children around. Again, what will be going on in the mind of the psychologist is that if you cannot take full responsibility with the way you dress, then there is no way you would be able to provide for you kids. The key here is to dress appropriately.

After all, it is the welfare of the kid that is at stake here. No parent would like to be apart from their kids unless something is really your with your head. If you are afraid, do not try to hide it. It would be useless also to try to head as psychologists are trained to read hidden thoughts. They can read your face.

Some parents would even cry during the interview and that is expected and understandable. For one, the parent is undergoing a divorce proceeding which is a very painful situation. Do try to hide your emotions because psychologists are experts at reading expressions.

If you have piercings in the body, you might want to consider taking that out at least for the meantime. Sometimes they do not give a nice impression especially to psychologists who are a stickler. You may or may not wear perfumes.

Just make sure you smell clean or the psychologist will think that your inability to look after yourself is also incapacity on your part to look after your kids. Remember that whatever it is that you lack can be used against you in your battle for your kids. These are just some of the things that you can prepare yourself with for psychological testing child custody.
