You do not have to agree to anything the special master or custody evaluator recommends. You also have the right to cross-examine each at trial. BTW, I do not beleive it is per se unethical for an attorney to have ex parte communications with either, but it could look bad, especially if these communications were not disclosed to you and you found out by some other means.
