[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t request a GAL or a parenting coordinator at all. And I’m a lawyer. Just because you think you are right OP doesn’t mean thay the GAL or parenting coordinator will agree with you. And now you’ve let a basically untrained and unaccountable person into your life and given them power over you. It’s bad enough to have to have a judge decide, but with a judge, at least everything happens out in the open with your lawyer there and a trained professional deciding. [/quote]

+1 Some GALs are good and basically do it as a form of pro bono hours. But the majority of them are GALs because it's the only way they can earn a living. They can't make it otherwise as private attorneys. Be careful.[/quote]

Yep. There’s zero way I would be a GAL. *shudder*. The lawyers who do it must either be unqualified for anything else, or have weird crusaderish views about kids and families. Or even worse, both. I’d honestly rather give my ex 75% time and forgo all child support than let a GAL anywhere near my kid. [/quote]
