Legal Question in Family Law in California

It is legal, but a good judge will either exclude the evidence or find that the expert who has talked only one party can give very little valuable input. I had the same situation occur earlier this year and the judge stated that the psychologist opinions had minimal value, this after the other party spent over $12,000 on the psychologist. The ruling of the judge went against the psychologist recommendation. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

If the proceeding is a modification of an existing order, and the parties have joint legal custody, it may be a contempt of the existing order. If this is the inital proceedings, however, I agree with Mr. McCrary that it is not illegal, just poor judgment that should be addressed and hopefully will backfire as it did in his case.
