(a) The licensee shall not conduct a parenting plan evaluation in a case in which the licensee has served or can reasonably anticipate serving in a therapeutic role for the child or the child's immediate family, or has had other significant involvement; e.g., social, personal, business, or professional, that may compromise the licensee's objectivity.

(b) The licensee may not accept any of the involved participants in the parenting plan evaluation as therapy clients, either during or after the evaluation.
