[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the crowd.  There is generally no need for a GAL or a parent coordinator.  On the other hand, I am also a very qualified attorney, and I would very happily switch careers to be either if my situation wasn't so stable right now.  I have been very close to several divorces that have parent coordinators.  Not one has done anything beneficial.  I do have a close friend who has a GAL right now, but it is a very unique situation.  In that instance, my friend's divorce was completed several years ago, the father is both a doctor and an addict, and he is going through a rough breakup with a woman who has just given birth to two more of his children.  In this instance, there are so many parties involved (the father, my friend, the two original kids, the new baby momma and the new twins) that a GAL was necessary.  This doesn't seem like your case at all.[/quote]

I can only see a GAL being necessary in the most dire of cases where you need to protect your kids from a really bad parent. Even then GALs often fail. [/quote]
