ARM 24.189.807. DUAL RELATIONSHIPS

(1) When performing parenting plan evaluations, psychologists must avoid dual relationships and situations that may create a conflict of interest by: (a) not conducting parenting plan evaluations in cases where the psychologist has served or can reasonably anticipate serving in a therapeutic role for the child or the child's immediate family, or has had other significant involvement that may compromise the psychologist's objectivity; (b) not accepting anyone involved in the parenting plan evaluation as therapy clients, either during or after the evaluation; and (c) being aware of the limitations, possible biases, and potential impact on an ongoing therapeutic relationship when asked to testify regarding a therapy client involved in a parenting plan case. If required to testify, the psychologist must limit testimony to factual issues and not provide expert opinion on parenting plan issues.
