Cal. Fam. Code § 3117 — Custody Investigation and Report is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
The Judicial Council shall, by January 1, 1999, do both of the following:
(a) Adopt standards for full and partial court-connected evaluations, investigations, and assessments related to child custody.
(b) Adopt procedural guidelines for the expeditious and cost-effective cross-examination of court-appointed investigators, including, but not limited to, the use of electronic technology whereby the court-appointed investigator may not need to be present in the courtroom. These guidelines shall in no way limit the requirement that the court-appointed investigator be available for the purposes of cross-examination. These guidelines shall also provide for written notification to the parties of the right to cross-examine these investigators after the parties have had a reasonable time to review the investigator’s report.
