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.
