Abstract
This chapter discusses four of the common types of forensic evaluations performed in civil proceedings: child custody, fitness for duty, civil commitment, and damages within the context of emotional injury cases. Mental health professionals (MHPs) are frequently asked to provide observations or opinions regarding the emotional, behavioral, and/or cognitive functioning of an individual involved in the legal system whose mental state is at issue. As is the case for evaluations conducted in criminal proceedings, the referral question for each type of civil forensic assessment is grounded in a specific legal principle. Mental health professionals who accept referrals for forensic evaluations must be aware of key principles or issues pertaining to competent and ethical practice. Only fairly recently have psychology and social science begun to play a prominent role in child custody determinations. Mental health professionals were initially retained to assess "psychological parenthood" during the child custody determination process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
