You might want to consider looking on line for a sample will and draw one up, have someone witness your signing and dating it. I know I may be a bit of a Debbie downer on this, but it is important that you have something written down and give it to someone you trust. You never know what tomorrow will bring...not saying anything will happen, but you want to make sure that your children are taken care of and what you want them to have.
As for the meeting, I think you did just fine. You stood up for your children. You asked questions and pointed out things to everyone. I am hoping and praying that there will be some progress made in the days ahead.
Please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Now I know we have people here been doing this longer Or gone through the same thing.
I am at lost why do d10, and s9 gotta go to W school just because of school numbers, today I went to school board and when when look it up We are almost same W school where she lives has more 10 points Wow.. 10 freaking point.
Again W doesn't do any school function with S10. I have always been involved in Family event, PTO participation School parties. I go to every school meeting for each child. I am there. I make sure they do after school events. Band, basketball, Stem I can go on.
Where W doesn't with S10. W simply can't right now.
I am breaking my head, I have talk with kids and d10 and s9 cries No mom Why do we need to be the ones always give up. Why can't s10 go to our school He just started this school.
My kids have a big point how can I speak up for them. How can I make sure our kids are ok.
S10 just started this new school Remember W has moved twice since BD 2 different schools I have been here since bd I promised my kids we are not moving until you Graduate elementary school. This is all I been trying to tell GAL
How can I Express to GAL for GAL to see my point of view. I want what's best for the three. If S10 was in that school for 2yrs I would have Been put in a rough spot. But is only been 3 months for him.
I will take any advice if anyone can. Or anyone knows anything about School district that could help me how I can try to fight this. To show Is not about me or W is about the trio's. Again anything would help.

Maybe you could say/ask courts to let kids stay in same school they are at until end of school year in June since they just started and are already knowing teachers and friends for the year
that would buy you some time and hopefully W would let go

I’m surprised that uprooting the kids from their school would ever be in consideration. Additionally, you can’t pass laws or enact statutes that are essentially status-based. Economically disadvantaged areas generally have worse schools. That would be a law punishing the poorer parent. I don’t see that passing Constitutional muster. Have you reached out to the ACLU?
This really does sound insane. There is a standard called, "Preserving the status quo" while things are being decided about a divorce. It is best for the kids to preserve the status quo, as long as that status quo is healthy. Who is this GAL? Can you try some other organization? I don't think you are being represented well. Can you ask your pastor if there is any lawyer in your church or child advocate person who can help you? Is there a social worker for the kids? You need someone to advocate for them!
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
You should be able to get free mental health services for your kids; all should be in counseling. A licensed therapist can provide a letter with concerns and help the child voice his/her preferences. Your children are old enough that they should be able to do that.
I don't know if you want to involve child services, it can get sticky. But if your W has been abusive to them, maybe it will help. You can call and report the abuse and they will investigate without you having to pay the courts for an advocate. You could ask at these counseling places for advice.
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
