Abstract
The pending case of In Re Grohman presents a classic dilemma. Larry Wegner sought court orders mandating a psychological evaluation of his wife, Sondra Grohman, in the context of a divorce proceeding. Does every family law matter justify a psychological evaluation? ...In every case where such an exam is sought, the trial court must balance the need for the information to substantiate claims asserted by a party against that individual’s right to privacy.
