AC47512 – Raymond v. Briere (“In this custody dispute, the self-represented plaintiff,
Amanda L. Raymond, appeals from the judgment of the trial court awarding the
defendant, Justin K. Briere, primary physical custody of their minor child, M.
On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court (1) erred by admitting evidence
of the plaintiff’s conduct related to her efforts to research and report
alleged criminal activity to law enforcement, (2) violated her right to a fair
trial by exhibiting bias in favor of the defendant, and (3) erred by ordering
her to undergo a psychological evaluation and to comply with any treatment
recommendations made in connection with such evaluation. We agree with the
plaintiff that the court erred in ordering her to undergo a psychological
evaluation but disagree with the plaintiff’s remaining claims. We therefore
reverse the judgment of the trial court in part and vacate the order requiring
her to undergo a psychological evaluation. We affirm the judgment in all other
respects.”)
