Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Biased Evaluator

I had to go before a psychologist in attempt to get full custody of my child. When I received a copy of the report the psychologist wrote the things about me that I stated about my wife. During the sessions she would say well your wife told me or she said this about you. I need someones help. Thanks.
