What Is a 730 Evaluation?

A 730 Evaluation is a court-ordered psychological assessment used to help resolve high-conflict custody disputes.
The evaluation is conducted by a licensed mental health professional (under California Evidence Code Section 730) and is used by the court to make informed decisions about custody, visitation, and the best interests of the child.

These evaluations are often requested in cases involving:

  • Allegations of abuse or neglect

  • High-conflict co-parenting dynamics

  • Concerns about a parent’s mental health or parenting capacity

  • Reunification needs after prolonged separation or estrangement

  • Parental alienation or refusal of visitation



The evaluation includes interviews with the children, parents, and other family members. The evaluator gathers information from additional sources, such as teachers, doctors, and/or police.  Another part of a 730  evaluation is psychological testing.  Once all the information is gathered, a 730 evaluation report is produced which provides an understanding of the family dynamics and the children’s needs.

Although evaluators are trained licensed therapists and have a compassionate understanding of the challenges that the parents and children are facing, they do not provide therapy during the evaluation process.

Averagely a 730 evaluation takes about 3 months to prepare. This may be longer if the parents or legal representatives are not readily available. Cooperation by all sides will make the evaluation not only easier but quicker and more cost-effective.

730 Evaluation Costs/Fees

If the evaluation takes place within LA County, the costs are usually estimated to be from $7000 to $12000, depending on the complexity and the number of children involved. If the case is outside LA Couty additional costs will incur due to traveling costs and additional time spent to travel.

Family dynamics can be health challenging to your navigate, but our family counseling sessions offer a where all members can our express themselves and work towards resolution.
