[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]

Agree. Do not get any divorce para professionals. They are mostly hacks. It doesn’t end well. You then have to learn to do it yourself later, but on a delayed timetable.[/quote]

+100. One “divorce coordinator” we worked with was useful in walking us through the elements of a parenting plan to consider but the other we worked with was worse than useless (tried to question aspects of the plan my DH and I had already agreed to.) At the end of the day it would have been better (faster & cheaper) to just exchange drafts through lawyers then do a one-time mediation marathon to hammer out any details. [/quote]
