    Lightbulb Guardian Ad Litem Appointed for No Reason

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: FLORIDA

    My Family Law case started in 2016 when my Ex-wife decided to take my son and try to move 4 hours away. My son has spent 85% of his time with me over the last 10 years even though after the divorce with my ex-wife she was the "Primary Parent"......After almost 2 years in court, I won my case, my son lives with me full-time and my Ex gets visitation every other weekend and she pays me child support.

    My Ex-wife is and has always been the type of person to never want to feel like she lost, so she filed for an appeal on the case and lost, filed to have the Judge removed and lost, filed bogus DCF claims against me that were proven False and the list goes on and on....She has filed so many things against me that were lies and they have all been denied. Instead of moving on she still wants to fight.

    Well about 6-7 months ago she filed to have a Guardian Ad Litem appointed and for whatever damn reason, the Judge signed off on it!! I honestly think it's because he was getting tired of her and her attorney constantly filing things while all I have tried to do is move on and provide the best life for my son I can. The Judge was getting fed up with her.


    With all this said, this Guardian Ad Litem will not find anything different than the original trial. If anything I now live in a bigger house in a nicer subdivision and my son has more now than ever before and he is happy, yet I have to go along with all of this and on top of the inconvenience, it's costing me another $2000 on top of the $40,000 I have spent since the case began on Attorney fees!

    My question is, What can I do about this?? It's all for nothing and just a waste of time and money!

    Any help or insight would be appreciated!!

    Sorry, you can't stop this. All you can do is keep fighting until she quits or your son becomes an adult.

    How well you live and how much stuff your son has is irrelevant and some GALs might even get turned off by someone mentioning them. Talk about how well adjusted your son is, how he is happy and doing well in school (hopefully) and about all of the friends he has. Give the GAL as much positive information as you can and try to avoid degrading mom in any way.

    First of all, nothing in the history of the world has ever happened "for no reason." There's always some reason, even if you don't know what it is or think it's a good reason.

    As for your question, I"m sure you can do lots of things, including spending more time and money on appealing the order appointing the GAL.

    As far as insight, since we know nothing about your case beyond what's in your post (and since no one here has read the GAL order or any of the papers that were filed in order to obtain it), there's virtually nothing useful anyone here can tell you other than that you should consult with a local attorney.
