Title: Ad Litem meeting today...quick help please
Post by: ArkStepMom on Jul 07, 2005, 05:35:46 AM
We have been battling (mostly with our Atty) for a custody reversal  for over a year now and finally, but not without pushing, set an appointment with the Ad Litem 4 hours away at the Ad Litem's office, with less then a days notice!
Our concerns for child are 19+ residences for the 8 y/o , emotional instability, visitation denial exploiting a stip in the order giving CP discretion to withhold visitation if a "Dr' excuse" is issued, neglect on the basis of the almost always child has come for visitation with 100's of bug bites/lice or Impetigo,  domestic agression (some physical) issues between CP and her husband, his children and his ex-wife.

1) What is important to bring to this initially meeting with the Ad Litem (child has not been invited)
2) Any morsal of advise is appreciated?

Thank you in advance

Credible objective evidence of your allegations.

You don't exist. Nothing about you matters. Your only concern is the child's welfare, even if you don't receive any additional parenting time. That way, the GAL believes it's not about "de mon'ey."
