I live in Virginia, he has custody of his two children 13 and 11.  She filed for change of custody stated her home "more suitable"

Went for the home study interview and they came out to both houses.  

Question 1  
Is it relevant that she moved after the home study was done?  

She has two children of her own, one step son and is fighting for custody of the two we have.  She moved from a four bedroom home to a three bedroom home.  

She also failed to give 30 written notice of the move as court ordered in the custody order.  He has no address and no home phone number.

Question 2:
Does it sound accuate for the GAL to not want to see the children or dad before she gives her findings to the court?

GAL asked CF to call her a few weeks before court Dec. 15, which he did.  GAl stated that because she had not been able to speak to the mother she found no reason to see the children.  She only requested seeing the pre trial memorandum the date of court.

Maybe. Five kids split between two bedrooms doesn't sound that great, but I don't know what you're offering as an alternative, so I can't comment further.

Well, it indicates to me that the GAL doesn't see any reason to make a full investigation -- probably because the GAL doesn't see a need for any change.

PS. In the future, please ask your questions after you give me all the facts.
