8)To what body or agency does one file a complaint for such activities/actions on the part of such a licensed mental health counselor / duly court authorized custody evaluator ?

Every state law varies, so I have tried to be consistent with what I know from Utah and Arizona.

7) Absolutely NOT.... why did you start with #7, maybe I am missing #1-6..... so my answer here must be qualified.

HOWEVER, a simple allegation that involves the child's health and safety may be used to delay the transfer of custody from one parent to another if the child is currently in the custody of a parent for whom there is no allegation involving health or safety.

FOR EXAMPLE, The mother said that her ex-husband abused their child and she does not want to give her child (in her custody) to him under any circumstances. This allegation may be completely false, and simply intended to cause bias in the custody hearings. HOWEVER, the court would be expected to review the allegation before sending the child to live with father.

If the situation were reversed, and the father had custody at the time of the allegation.... a greater burden of proof would be required to substantiate the allegation before the child is removed.
