GAL and who pays

[T0052SC]

When I started on this process the courts aproved a GAL to the case.  The court ordered that the parents split the cost 50/50.  I have noticed through out the process in the itemizations that the STBX has never paid the GAL.  The GAL report has been submitted and I have received the last itemization and it still showes that the STBX has never paid their half.

How does the court view this when we go for our final trial?

The GAL did not use the full retainer.  Since the court wanted the parents to split the cost 50/50 and I paid my half up front will the court order the STBX pay the remainder or will the court order to pay half of the total and then I will get reimbursed a portion of my retainer?

Since the CO says a 50/50 split, it will catch up to STBX. In time...
