Legal Question in Family Law in California
Is this sex discrimination?
The mediator in my case wrote that she could ''contact either party as I see fit in my role as family law investigator''. After an attorney who is also the daughter in law of the countys' family law judge began representing my ex-wife, a judge wrote that the mediators statements were correct. Before the judges' daughter in law became involved in the case, however, the family law judge insisted that the mediator was in error.
The custody investigator wrote in a report that CPS substantiated abuse allegations against me and that I was a suspect in a case in another county. This also happened after the judges' daughter in law became involved. Both statements were false. Program directors from both CPS agencies wrote letters to the court to say so...but not until a judge reviewed the custody report and accepted the information as true.
The custody report did not mention another CPS case - in which my ex-wife was the suspect for negligence, although that case also took place before the custody report was written.

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --
The facts that you have provided are not clear
enough and/or complete enough to provide a
definitive answer to you inquiry; however, I would
say that I doubt that there is any real basis for a claim of judicial bias. My question, however, is how did your lawyer let such a sloppy custody report get admitted into evidence?
