Prohibits terminated forensic child custody evaluators from serving as expert witnesses in family court custody and visitation cases.

This bill amends the domestic relations law and the family court act to prohibit courts from allowing forensic child custody evaluators who have been terminated for cause to appear as expert witnesses in family court custody and visitation proceedings. A "forensic child custody evaluator" is defined as a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker authorized to perform evaluations to assist the court in custody or visitation determinations. The bill also prevents courts from using forensic custody reports prepared by such terminated evaluators in these proceedings.
