Utah Divorce Subpoena: Custody Evaluation Records
In some Utah divorces involving child custody a custody evaluation is necessary.
Quickly, a custody evaluation is an evaluation by an expert (usually a psychologist or LCSW) regarding child custody and parent-time. (If you want to read more about custody evaluations, click here.)
If you end up going to trial after a custody evaluation and the subsequent 4-903 conference (read more about those here), you’ll want to subpoena the custody evaluator’s records and review them before trial.
