Divorce is nearly complete, but suddenly my ex wants psych evaluations. This would include himself, his live-in girlfriend, and me. I’m fine with this, but he also wants my new boyfriend to undergo it. We’ve been seeing each other a month and aren’t living together.

I can only speak to Ohio, and it looks like you may live in another state. It is unusual for the court to allow psychologicals near the end of the case.
