1. Documentation of parental behavior

• Detailed Records: Keep a comprehensive log of daily routines, including school drop-offs, pickups, meals, bedtime routines, homework assistance, doctor’s appointments, extracurricular activities, and any other relevant events.
• Communication Logs: Maintain records of all communications with the co-parent, including texts, emails, and call logs. These should reflect positive, constructive communication about the child’s needs and any attempts at cooperation regarding co-parenting.
• Official Documents: Gather medical and educational records, such as regular checkups, vaccinations, school attendance records, grades, and teacher notes or evaluations. Police reports of any incidents involving the other parent can also be important evidence.
• Financial Records: Collect documentation of financial contributions, including child support payments, expenses for school supplies, medical bills, and other child-related costs.
• Witness Testimonies: Obtain statements from teachers, coaches, family friends, or caregivers who can provide unbiased insights into each parent’s involvement and the child’s home environment.
• Visual Documentation: Photos and videos can help showcase the child’s living environment, such as their bedroom or study area, or document any concerning incidents or behavior. Pictures documenting interactions with the child or instances of poor living conditions can be useful in evidence. Be mindful of state laws on recording conversations and obtaining images or video without consent.
• Custody Journal: Maintain a journal to record observations about the child’s emotional and physical state, especially after transitions between parents. Judy Burger Law suggests, documenting interactions with the other parent, attempts to comply with agreements, quality time with the child, and the child’s own comments. 

2. Suitability investigations

• Neglectful Behavior: Evidence of neglect, such as poor hygiene, malnourishment, missed medical appointments, or unsanitary living conditions, is evaluated.
• Abuse or Domestic Violence: A history of abuse or domestic violence will be a significant factor in determining parental suitability.
• Mental and Physical Health: Assessments will consider the parent’s mental and physical ability to provide consistent and safe care. This may involve medical records, psychological evaluations, and expert witness testimonies.
• Stability and Consistency: Frequent changes in residence, job instability, or erratic behavior can indicate an unstable environment and raise concerns about suitability.
• Parental Involvement: The investigation examines the parent’s engagement in the child’s life, including school, health, and extracurricular activities.
• Co-Parenting Behavior: The ability to co-parent effectively, adhere to court orders, and avoid undermining the other parent’s role is also considered.
• Background Checks: Criminal history checks, employment verification, and review of court records may be conducted to assess the parent’s past behavior and stability. 

3. Legal and ethical considerations

• Evidence Admissibility: Ensure all gathered evidence adheres to legal standards, including being legally obtained, properly time-stamped, and relevant to the custody determination factors.
• Objectivity and Accuracy: All documentation should be factual, objective, and avoid emotional language or speculation.
• Professional Assistance: Consult with a family law attorney to ensure that your documentation meets legal standards and effectively supports your case.
• Confidentiality: Family law professionals involved in the investigation must prioritize the confidentiality of all parties and safeguard privacy.
• Best Interests of the Child: The guiding principle throughout the investigation and documentation process is the best interests of the child.
