Abstract
The article presents a theoretical review of the difficulties and benefits of using psychological assessment tools directed toward adults in forensic evaluations of child custody. We discussed: (1) the international information available about the use of psychological tests in these assessments, with a special focus on Spanish reality and (2) a summary of the legal conditions for the admissibility of these tests in the North-American and Spanish contexts. A critical analysis of the more used tools is performed in our context of the assessment in adults, providing useful considerations for technicians in relation to the application of such tools in child custody evaluations.
