A look at forensic psychiatric examinations in the context of contested custody matters. The article discusses a recent decision by an appellate court in New York, which held that a trial court did not commit an error by not mandating a forensic psychiatric examination of the parents because no proof was put forth that the mother had a mental illness. The author also focuses on whether or not mental illness of a parent should be a prerequisite to a forensic psychiatric examination, and how (if it all) that impacts the due process rights of a litigant in a custody case vs. whether or not such a requirement offers a valuable gatekeeping function.
