N2  - Judges carry the burden of making custody decisions based on multiple factors. Parental sexual orientation is one increasingly considered. This survey assessed the opinions and knowledge of family court judges from eight East Coast states. A one-page survey was mailed to judges, comparing multiple demographic characteristics. Geographic location reflected significant differences comparing Northeastern to Southeastern United States, Deep South states to border Southern states, and a state allowing same-sex civil unions to other Northern states. Awareness regarding available guidelines and current literature correlated positively with fewer negative opinions related to parental sexual orientation; however, causation of the correlation was unclear
