What does a Forensic Psychologist do in a CA Family Law case?

I'm asking the CA court for permission to move out of state for financial reasons. I have joint custody: our daughter lives with me and sees dad every other weekend.





My ex's attorney has filed a request for a court appointed Forensic Psychologist. What will this mean? What will the forensic psychologist do?





And what does it mean to open up a ';Discovery'; in Family Law?





Thanks for any info!What does a Forensic Psychologist do in a CA Family Law case?
The psychologist will interview your daughter; most likely, you and your ex, and, possibly, the other members of your households. (Expect an hour appointment in his or her office.) Then s/he will write a report with their recommendation to the court.





Discovery is the court term for investigation.
