When the mental, physical, or vocational condition of a party or any other person is in controversy, the parties by stipulation, or the court by order, may require that person to submit to a physical, mental, or vocational evaluation by a designated expert or to produce for evaluation the person in the party's custody or legal control.(2)Motion and Notice; Contents of the Order. The order: (A) may be made only on motion for good cause and on notice to all parties and the person to be evaluated (unless the person to be evaluated is a minor child of one or both of the parties); and(B) must specify the time, place, manner, conditions, and scope of the evaluation, including any tests or procedures to be performed, as well as the person or persons who will perform it.(3)Representative at Examination. On reasonable notice, the person being evaluated must have the right to have a representative of his or her choice present during the evaluation, unless the presence of that representative may adversely affect the outcome of that evaluation.(b)Evaluator's Report.(1)Request by the Party or Person Evaluated.
