Abstract
This chapter describes a preliminary randomly controlled trial of Family Court Judges’ evaluation of custody evaluations based on the Egregious/Promotive Factors Model vs. evaluation as usual. Although a key measure is the predictive validity of various models, data from this study can at least give preliminary information about the construct validity of the proposed model.
