One important consideration a judge may consider during a child custody proceeding is the mental and/or psychological state of the parents. Courts have the discretion to order psychological testing if they believe that there may be an issue. Also, if one parent believes that the other parent has serious mental and/or psychological issues that would pose a threat to the children, that parent can request a mental health evaluation.
For decades, minor guardianship proceedings have been governed by Iowa’s Probate Act. Beginning January 1, 2020, new law went into effect for guardianships. The new law is the “Iowa Minor Guardianship Proceedings Act.” This law imposes significantly more regulations and requirements for people seeking to become guardians of minors. It also offers additional protections for biological parents, proposed guardians and, most importantly, children.
