Cut Off, LA asked in Child Custody and Family Law for Louisiana

Q: We were ordered by the court to take a "mini" evaulation, 4 years after I was awarded custody of my child in Aug. 2015

I have sole custody of my child for the last 3 years now. Failed drug screen and medical neglect in which my daughter had hearing loss up until she had tubes put. Dr called OCS on medical neglect. At that point my ex-wife was then awarded supervised visitations every other Saturday. She recently brought us back to court Nov 2017 for more visits. We disagreed so the judge sent us to a psychologist. We had documentation from all Dr's, school, and her counselor, she's been seeing, that all recommend it's in child's best interest to have visitations moved to a different location. The psychologist saw my non-verbal severely autistic child twice, and his recommendation was child should spend nights no supervision. How did he come up with this decision? Because my ex-wife also had to do this evaluation brought no documents and he went off her word, which were lies.

A: You need a custody evaluation if you think that the custody evaluation was not performed adequately.
