15.Aug.2010 North Carolina Judges and Favored Custody Evaluators: Oh So Cozy Together

Kirkpatrick is the corrupt bastard that took a mom’s kids away that we know.  We know custody evaluators like this have very cozy relationships with judges all over.  From The Charlotte Observer: Help for psychologist fuels complaints Judge Bell says her board hearing testimony does not suggest she would favor Dr. Kirkpatrick in her court [...]

09.Aug.2010 Another Corrupt Custody Evaluator Commits Suicide…Adios Muchacho!

Dr. Roy W. Bradbury Wow, just like Janelle Burrill, this guy couldn’t pass the licensure test for psychologists in California.  I’ve heard about this corrupt, biased California custody evaluator for a while.  He offed himself, just like Dr. Richard Gardner did.  Is it because he started getting a heart and couldn’t take what he did [...]

30.Jul.2010 Custody Evaluators’ Beliefs About Domestic Violence Allegations During Divorce

This was a study done at the University of Illinois by Megan L. Haselschwerdt, Jennifer L. Hardesty, and Jason D. Hans.  It is pretty good, but I take issue with thinking that domestic violence training will help.  There are many custody evaluators that are in the “club” at the courthouse, and get more business based [...]

28.Jul.2010 There’s Nothing Friendly About Abuse

Here is an article from the current issue of Ms. Magazine, written by someone who gets it…Dr. R. Dianne Bartlow: There’s Nothing Friendly About Abuse Children are at risk when custody cases rely on a meritless theory of parental “alienation” by R. Dianne Bartlow It’s a statistic so unbelievable that it’s difficult to wrap your [...]

26.Jul.2010 Yes, There IS a Crisis in Family Courts

Glenn Sacks and Fathers & Families are crowing about defeating the Center of Judicial Excellence’s attempt to have junk science thrown out of the courtroom. Women get screwed frequently in family courts nationwide….guys do too. And when an injustice happens, it can often be traced back to some unethical, biased psychologist or pseudo-psychologist such as [...]

06.Jul.2010 Psychological Testing Issues: Self-Report Distortions

I’ve acquired many reference books and studied the MMPI-2 to the extent I don’t think anyone could ethically give me the test since I know so much about it.  I’ve even corresponded with Dr. John Graham, one of the test authors, about test results before.  There are so many ways unethical biased psychologists (I’m trying, [...]

29.Jun.2010 Beware! If Your Child is an “Independent Thinker” They May Have “Parental Alienation Disorder”

I finally found the text of what Dr. William Bernet submitted for consideration for inclusion in the DSM-V, the diagnostic bible used by ethical psychologists/psychiatrists and Court Whores alike.   Dr. Bernet and some of the magical “50 professionals” (who all make a significant portion of their income promoting this) were recently at the Denver AFCC [...]

14.Jun.2010 Personality Assessment

Here is an article that goes into more depth as far as personality testing goes.  This is a good subject to study when preparing for a custody evaluation as psychologists and other court whores seem to hyperfocus on this issue the most.  They have a lot of leeway in coming up with anything they feel [...]

13.Jun.2010 More Psychological Testing: Personality Tests

In the quest to find any fault with moms, psychological testing is extensive in some custody battles.   Personality testing may be something that is lobbed your way…educate yourself on the tests they are making you take, then investigate the results.  Sometimes the results can be twisted to fit the bias of the tester being paid [...]
