    Identifying Bias in Custody Evaluations

    By Timothy M. Tippins | September 6, 2017

    Matrimonial Practice columnist Timothy M. Tippins writes: Justice Potter Stewart famously quipped that although he could not define pornography, "I know it when I see it."

Given that custody evaluators are as susceptible to bias as anyone else and because bias can destroy the reliability of their conclusions, it is imperative that lawyers and judges be able to recognize its telltale signs.
