The GAL is appointed early in the divorce process.
We never had one bc xAH refused to agree and both parties have to agree to do it voluntarily.
And prior to the hearing at which one would have been requested, the parenting plan was finalized, so no, we never had one.
We are through the process of the divorce now and it is over and the parenting plan is final. So I truly do not know the process to get one NOR what the GAL could do.
But I need to find out.
Yes, I can record. I just need to tell xAH I am doing so.
So of course, when I state "this will now be recorded" he stops.
My state SUCKS.
