Title: Seeing GAL soon, any advice?
Post by: footballdad on Sep 18, 2011, 08:16:52 AM
Seeking modification of custody.  The GAL wants to meet with me.  Any advice on how to prepare for such a meeting, what to do/what not to do?  Obviously I am rather nervous about it.

We brought our binder with everything, few pictures in there of kids having good time at our house, and some interesting tapes that ex left for us. As we talked to GAL we just felt her out and little by little let things out. We were positive in our talking and said we do not want to take kids away from mom but wanted to be involved in their life and mom was making it very difficult. You may want to ask if she can make an appointment on a day you have kids so you can bring them and let her see how they are with you.
Good luck!
