Every best-interests judgment stays with the evaluator and the court.

The family court answers them. We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In court-ordered child custody evaluations, both are already published. The standard and the referee The rulebook - The forum’s best-interests-of-the-child statute and its enumerated factors, which name what the evaluation has to address - The AFCC Model Standards of Practice for Child Custody Evaluation, which require the evaluator to gather data from multiple sources and to weigh information that does not fit the emerging picture - The APA Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Family Law Proceedings on scope, multiple methods and the limits of the evaluator’s role - The court’s own appointment order, which sets the referral questions, the parties to be evaluated and the records the evaluator may obtain The referee - The family court, which adopts, modifies or rejects the recommendation - The guardian ad litem or the child’s attorney, reading the same records independently - A second-opinion reviewer retained to critique the evaluation, whose first move is to compare the report against the record A recommendation reopened because a treatment record contradicted the report From 10¢ to as low as 5¢/page here, duplicates free Custody record digest · Case #IME-4812 cited 100% Packet — 342 pp / 2 packets · 11 deduplicated — logged Per-party timelines — Each adult and each child, separately — cited Treatment and substance history — Course, adherence, documented relapse — cited Agency and school entries — CPS referrals, attendance, IEP findings — flagged Digest delivered · cited 100% · no custody recommendation How it works ### 3 steps between the records and the evaluation. 01 #### Send the records for every party Medical, psychiatric, substance treatment and pharmacy records for each adult, paediatric and school records for each child, child welfare files, and prior orders and evaluations, in any format. 02 #### Get the digest back, one timeline per person Separate cited timelines that can be read side by side, with treatment course, adherence, agency contact and school findings carried as their own rows. 03 #### The evaluator evaluates Interviews, observation, testing and the best-interests analysis are the evaluator’s work and the recommendation is theirs to make. The digest is the cited documentary record underneath it. The boundary, in writing ### A cited record, not a custody recommendation. We assemble and cite what the records document. We do not interview or observe anyone, administer or score any instrument, assess parenting capacity, or recommend a custody or parenting-time arrangement. Those belong to the evaluator and to the court. Roughly a third of a custody file is medical and the rest is agency, school and correspondence. All of it is read. A CPS referral that was screened out still shows as a cited entry, because the evaluator needs to know it exists, not to be told what it means.

Powered by the platform ### 7 capabilities behind every custody record digest. The custody record digest is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record. [ #### Medical Records OCR Every page for every party is read, including the school files and handwritten agency notes that carry most of the observations. IN ACTION · 1,900 pp / 6 parties, read in full ](https://medrecords.ai/product/ocr/) [ #### Medical Chronology One timeline per person, aligned on the same dates, so a household is readable as a whole instead of as four separate files. IN ACTION · per party → aligned timelines ](https://medrecords.ai/product/chronology/) [ #### Verifiable AI Citations Every entry links to its page, so a report challenged at hearing is answered from the record in one click. IN ACTION · digest → cited 100% ](https://medrecords.ai/product/citations/) [ #### Medical Summary Reports It exports into the evaluator’s report structure or a second-opinion critique, in your format. IN ACTION · digest → report structure ](https://medrecords.ai/product/summaries/) [ #### Medical Record Deduplication Forty charts pulled from multiple practices and EHR migrations carry their share of duplicate visit notes. Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter. IN ACTION · 40 charts → duplicate visit notes collapsed to 1 record each ](https://medrecords.ai/product/medical-record-deduplication/) [ #### Missing Records Identification A prescribing pattern read across 40 charts is only as sound as the file behind it. When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission ](https://medrecords.ai/product/missing-records-identification/) [ #### Cross-Exam Simulator (beta) A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice. IN ACTION · prescribing pattern → likely hearing questions mapped (beta) ](https://medrecords.ai/product/cross-exam-simulator/) FAQ ### Custody record review, answered. No, and no software should. The recommendation rests on interviews, observation and clinical judgment that belong to the appointed evaluator. We assemble the cited documentary record the evaluation is built on. Yes. A second-opinion reviewer starts by comparing the report against the record, and the cited digest shows which entries the report addressed and which it did not, with pages. Yes. Each party and each child gets their own cited timeline, aligned on the same dates so they can be read together, rather than one merged chronology in which a child’s course disappears. No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes. ### Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read. No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
