Xena I don't have one anymore, when I had one he told me that GAL is only if I had done something wrong with the child. I don't understand that since the father who is abusing the child asking the child to be forced into family counseling with him. Well in court they are calling it "family counseling" because it has to go through his insurance, the fellow who the court appointed is says he does not do counseling he only enforces the visitation order, he refuses to talk to her current therapist and mental health professionals who have all stated that the child should not be forced into counseling. Something has to be done to make sure the child's rights are not being violated or overlooked by the courts, as a well as to assure the child's safety. If I can not afford an attorney, then who does this?
