Thank you for your replies. An educated opinion is certainly something of value.

I spoke with my attorney at length today about a parenting coordinator, because the research I did scared the crap out of me. My ex is in favor of a parenting coordinator but I don't think he realizes the scope and depth of disruption parenting coordinators have. This would be someone else in our lives until our children turn 18, and the bills alone would eat up any college savings I could hope to accomplish. My attorney also said that she doesn't think that our relationship is not high conflict enough to warrant a parenting coordinator and that the GAL was not really suggesting a PC.

I wanted to get rid of the GAL but again my attorney told me that would not happen until the judge dismissed her.

Thanks again for your information
