Dr. Edward J Connor Psy D
"Our intent is to be sure that no factual information is inaccurate" -Dr. Edward J Connor 3/26/08
Dr. Edward J Connor Psy D performed a child custody evaluation in my divorce. Dr. Connor told Judge Carl H Taul that his original evaluation report contained “numerous errors and oversights.” When I requested a copy of Dr. Connor’s case file to see how there could be “numerous errors and oversights” in something as important as a child custody evaluation, Dr. Connor went on the offensive. You will be able to see how Dr. Connor began to consider me to be a “potentially dangerous” person after I began challenging Dr. Connor about the conflicting reasons as to why he wouldn’t release the case file as indicated by his contract. The sad thing is, Dr. Edward J Connor will run to the Court to try to harm me for telling my story. If Dr. Connor would have been honest, none of this would have been necessary.

- When Psychologists Attack
Dr. Connor wrote a letter to Judge Taul claiming there were “numerous errors and oversights” in the custody evaluation. How could this happen? If we call it confidential, we will never know.
Would you agree to undergoing an evaluation for a legal proceeding if you were not allowed to review the evidence behind the report? Neither would I. Dr. Connor’s contract said I was entitled to the case file. So does Indiana and Kentucky law. I still don’t have a copy. What is in the evaluation case file that nobody wants me to see?
Dr. Connor said he couldn’t understand me because I had severe ADHD. Here are some criminal cases where Dr. Connor evaluated people who had a lot more than ADHD going on. Some of them have been executed. 
The following is a list of professionals, organizations, government officials, etc… who may know about Dr. Connor. I’m not saying all of these people are aware of Dr. Connor’s unethical actions, I’m just saying I know some of them may be. 
They say not to piss off the custody evaluator. I guess they were right because he’s one mean rough old boy. Click on the Great White to see what happens when psychologists attack.
