Dr. Oberschneider was selected by our judge to be our custody evaluator. The attorneys offered six names (three each), and our judge chose Dr. Oberschneider saying that he is "excellent" and that he has been in his court room many times. It was also comforting to know that both attorneys (mine and my ex's) have worked with Dr. Oberschneider on many cases like ours. I am so pleased with Dr. Oberschneider's work. He thoroughly evaluated our toxic co parenting relationship and was able to come to the correct conclusions for our children. I don't agree with everything he recommended (like my having to spend some time with my ex-husband in the presence of our children during visitation pick ups and drop offs), but it's probably all good for our kids. If you ever have to do a custody evaluator, I give Dr. Oberschneider 5 stars. His staff was also outstanding. Thank you!!!
