[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 602113, member: 1550"] Thanks, all. It appears there is a vast difference in states!! Missouri only uses lawyers. Some states use social workers. Some volunteers. (I am learning). My son is taking a crash course in GAL 101. Since both parents have done some iffy things regarding the child, it is going to be a long one. My son didn't know how carefully you have to watch your mouth around the child and ex is blatantly disregarding the parenting plan and doing whatever she wants to do without even telling my son about it. She didn't even put his name down as a contact for the YMCA or school, which will come back as parental alientation since she put down her live-in's name and called him stepfather. She didn't put my son's name down at all. He had to go to school and get that for his attorney's records. He has a very good attorney, on his father's dime, who is going to coach him before he sees the GAL, whom the lawyer knows well. My son is very capable of looking calm, cool, and collected. Ex has a harder time and is struggling to pay her attorney's fees and is prone to lashing out about my son and how he abused her (she has no proof) and she does not stay on topic about the best interests of the child. This should be interesting. As I've said many times, neither of them are that stable, yet neither are doing things that would make a judge even consider removing them from their custody and they both are asking f or full physical and legal custody, although my son who knows this won't happen on either side says that fifty per cent visitation for both of them is "in the best interests of t he child." Thank you very much, Step, for that extra bit of help. It was very interesting, to say the least! [/QUOTE]
