Did not go speak to child alone without informing dad of visits first and giving dad full control over days, time, and places she would see or talk to my daughter

She represented me in a very high conflict case, she was fair ethical and child oriented, she never fueled or worsened the situation and constantly worked to defuse and ensure as much stability as possible for the kids

I trusted the process, innocent till proven guilty, followed every rule, have always been the stable, trusted, involved parent to our children. False claims with nothing but father’s word against mine. I had to prove the lies false. Facts ignored. Truth forgotten and 18 years of actual history did not matter when the GAL can’t be bothered by facts. Having to prove lies are lies is a special kind…

The court system failed me as both a woman and a mother, separating a stay-at-home mother of 15 years from her four children while overlooking concerns I believed were critical to their well-being. The process has been emotionally devastating and has left me feeling unheard, unsupported, and deeply harmed as both a parent and caregiver.

This has caused an immense amount of trauma to my children, especially my youngest. Stolen joy and peace and caused irreversible harm.

The GAL in my case broke every law that she is supposed to follow. The judge rubber stamped her recommendation without any evidence. She is a danger to women and children.

These people wasted my time and money and never held my ex husband accountable for spending every penny of our savings and selling our stocks for his benefit. The GAL ignored the fact that the father was not administering daily necessary medication to our child putting her in danger mentally and emotionally.

After being dismissed and devalued by the system, in addition to the relationship abuse, I was ready to acquiesce and throw in the towel just to gain some semblance of my humanity back. I have zero faith in the justice system/courts after my experience.
