amily court assessments provide the court with clear, objective information focused on one central question: what arrangements are in the best interests of the child? We provide professional family court assessments in Peterborough and the surrounding area to support kids involved in the family court system.

We provide the following assessment services: 

Parenting Time / Decision-Making Assessments

This type of assessment is a structured process that helps families and the court figure out care and responsibility arrangements that best support a child’s well-being. It considers each parent’s strengths, the child’s experiences, and the overall family dynamic to offer practical recommendations.

Voice of the Child Reports

This is a brief, focused process that helps the court understand your child’s views and experiences during family changes. Your child is given a safe, neutral space to share their perspective, which is then summarized in a clear, age-appropriate way for the court.

Youth Court Assessments

This process helps the court understand what’s going on in your teen’s life and what supports could help them move forward in a healthier direction. It looks at your teen’s strengths, challenges, and environment to provide practical recommendations that support their growth and well-being.
