Administrative Rules of Montana › Department 24 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Chapter 24.189 - BOARD OF PSYCHOLOGISTS › Subchapter 24.189.8 - Parenting Plan Evaluations › Rule 24.189.801 - ORIENTING GUIDELINES

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) The purpose of
				parenting plan evaluation regulations is to protect both the public, who are
				the consumers of psychological services, and the psychologists, who are the
				providers of services. These regulations intend to insure competency of the
				provider and consistency of the procedures in child custody proceedings
				pursuant to Title 40, chapter 4, MCA, termination of marriage, child custody,
				support.
(2) The purpose of a
				parenting plan evaluation is to determine to the extent possible, what is in
				the best interests of the child. The "fit" between each parent and the child or
				children is the central issue, not the psychological diagnosis of each parent
				or of each child. If a parent or child shows any relevant mental, cognitive,
				physical, or other disorder, the implications of that disorder for the best
				interest of the child must be addressed.
(3) Two different parents showing very
				similar personalities and parenting styles might affect two different children
				in essentially different ways. It cannot be assumed that qualities generally
				admired by the population at large are necessarily those that make the better
				parent, or are in the best interests of the child. For example, factors such as
				which parent has the most money, the most friends, the largest house, is the
				most religious, the most physically active, has the most education, is home the
				most, lacks a history of psychological diagnosis or treatment, and so on, may
				bear on the issue at hand, but are not the determining factors in and of
				themselves. How each factor supports the child's needs and well being, or
				detracts from the child's needs and well being, is a primary consideration. The
				intention of a parenting plan evaluation is to make a parenting recommendation
				that will support the child's development along the healthiest lines
				possible.

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) In a
				parenting plan evaluation, the psychologist shall maintain an unbiased,
				impartial role. The client is the child, and recommendations must be made which
				are in the best psychological interests of the child. The psychologist shall
				clarify with all parties, attorneys, and the court the nature of the
				psychologist's role as an objective evaluator.
(a) The psychologist shall act as an
				impartial evaluator of the parties, assessing relevant information, and
				informing and advising the court and other parties of the relevant factors
				pertaining to the parenting issue.
(b) The psychologist shall remain impartial,
				regardless of whether the psychologist is retained by the court or by a party
				to the proceeding, and regardless of whom is responsible for payment.
(c) If circumstances prevent the psychologist
				from performing in an impartial role, the psychologist shall attempt to
				withdraw from the case. (See ARM
				24.189.807 )
(d) If the psychologist is not able to
				withdraw, the psychologist must reveal any factors that may bias the
				psychologist's findings and/or compromise the psychologist's
				objectivity.
(e) Communication with
				parents or attorneys must be conducted in such a manner as to avoid bias. The
				psychologist must exercise discretion in informing parties or their attorneys
				of significant information that is gathered during the course of the
				evaluation. The psychologist shall not communicate essential information to one
				party's attorney without also communicating the information to the other
				party's attorney, and to the guardian ad litem, if one is appointed.
Administrative Rules of Montana › Department 24 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Chapter 24.189 - BOARD OF PSYCHOLOGISTS › Subchapter 24.189.8 - Parenting Plan Evaluations › Rule 24.189.807 - DUAL RELATIONSHIPS

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) The
				psychologist shall avoid dual relationships and other situations which might
				produce a conflict of interest when performing parenting plan evaluations.
(a) The psychologist shall not conduct a
				parenting plan evaluation in a case in which the psychologist has served or can
				reasonably anticipate serving in a therapeutic role for the child or the
				child's immediate family, or has had other significant involvement, e.g.,
				social, personal, business, or professional, that may compromise the
				psychologist's objectivity.
(b) The
				psychologist may not accept any of the involved participants in the parenting
				plan evaluation as therapy clients, either during or after the
				evaluation.
(c) The psychologist
				who is asked to testify regarding a therapy client who is involved in a
				parenting plan case shall be aware of the limitations and possible biases
				inherent in such a role and the possible impact on the ongoing therapeutic
				relationship. If required to testify, the psychologist may not give an expert
				opinion regarding parenting plan issues and shall limit the psychologist's
				testimony to factual issues.

				evaluations in Montana shall be licensed to practice in the state of Montana or
				meet the requirements for consultation in
				37-17-104,
				MCA.
(2) Psychologists may only
				perform parenting plan evaluations if they have acquired specialized training,
				education, and experience in the areas of psychological assessment of children
				and adults, child and family development, child and family psychopathology, and
				the impact of divorce on families. They shall acquire current knowledge
				regarding diverse populations, especially as it relates to child-rearing
				issues..
(3) Psychologists shall
				use multiple methods of data collection in a parenting plan
				evaluation.
(4) Psychologists shall
				understand, clarify, and utilize the concept of the "best interests of the
				child" guideline as set forth in Title 40, chapter 4, MCA.
(5) Psychologists shall maintain current
				knowledge of legal standards regarding parenting plans, divorce, and laws
				regarding abuse, neglect and family violence. Psychologists shall also
				understand the civil rights of parties in legal proceedings in which they
				participate, and manage their professional conduct in a manner that does not
				diminish or threaten those rights.
(6) Psychologists shall not render diagnoses
				or form an expert opinion about any party not personally evaluated and may not
				make parenting plan recommendations when both parents and children have not
				been personally evaluated by the psychologist. In situations where all parties
				cannot be evaluated, psychologists shall limit recommendations and opinions to
				individuals evaluated and shall avoid making recommendations regarding
				placement and visitation.

				exceptions to confidentiality stemming from the specific requirements of a

Administrative Rules of Montana › Department 24 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Chapter 24.189 - BOARD OF PSYCHOLOGISTS › Subchapter 24.189.8 - Parenting Plan Evaluations › Rule 24.189.820 - COLLECTION AND USE OF DATA

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) The
				psychologist shall use generally accepted standards for the collection and use
				of data.
(2) In evaluating
				alternative hypotheses, psychologists shall include data from several different
				sources and of several different types, such as interviews, testing,
				observations of interactions, questionnaires, and record reviews. The
				psychologist shall be prepared to specify the reasons for collecting each kind
				of data and how it relates to the child's best interests.
(3) As data are collected, the psychologist
				must keep comprehensive and detailed records. All raw data, which might include
				test forms, handwritten notes, scribbles in margins, records of telephone
				conversations, observations of parent-child interaction, observations of
				parent-parent interaction, consultations with other professionals, any audio or
				video tapes made, and so on, must be saved and made available for review, if
				necessary.
(4) Data that are not
				objective should not be treated as though they are. The psychologist shall
				attempt to corroborate or rule out allegations that either parent has behaviors
				that affect the child detrimentally. If the psychologist is not able to form a
				clear opinion based on objective data or data verified by multiple sources, the
				psychologist should state this fact. If appropriate, the psychologist may offer
				a method by which further data along any dimension might be gathered, for
				example, recommending that a child meet with a therapist over time, that a
				parent undergo drug and alcohol assessment, and so on.
(5) If issues affecting what is in the
				child's best interest arise and cannot be investigated due to the limited scope
				of the evaluation as imposed by the court or an agency, the psychologist shall
				report those issues to the parents, their attorneys, and the court. If issues
				arise that the psychologist does not have the expertise to investigate or form
				an opinion on, another psychologist or specialist who does have the required
				expertise should be brought in to address that issue.
