    Hi everyone,

    I was advised that it was possible to obtain a child psych evaluation for a child who is being subject to extreme arguments when child is with other parent on access.

    Sorry if this is a bit gobbeldy gook but I heard that if I get one of these evaluations and bring it to court that the judge would decrease access as child is being affected by it.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has gone down this road or even has a contact for a psych who will carry out said evaluation.

    I really would appreciate any help, this is obviously quite distressing

    thanks guys

    St. Francis Clinic in Temple St and depending on your local Health Board, some of them have access to child Psychiatrist,
    your GP could also recommend someone privately, that could do an assesment, depending on your circumstances
    best of luck

    If you're concerned about your childs welfare it might be worth asking advice from your solicitor.
    You'll probably need one anyway to change the access rights.
    To echo the other replies I'd definitely suggest a chat with your GP

    Work it out between the two of you and don't use the child as a pawn between a set of warring parents. Talk to the mother, spend some time thinking of your child and not yourself.
