LD is correct. The GAL cannot speak to some witnesses. Did both you and your wife sign a release for the GAL to talk to the marriage counselor? By the way, the GAL speaking to those people does NOT replace you actually calling them as witnesses. The GAL report is not evidence so much as it is the basis of his recommendations.
We had our final meeting today both lawyers, gal, me, and STBX were present.
Lawyers went to their own room with GAL to chat, then my lawyer came to me and said that the OC is proposing a new plan and under this plan, I get 40% and STBX gets 60%.
My lawyer also told me that I do have a good chance to fight this because she didnt believe that the GAL properly did his job but told me that when GAL go in front of the Judge they will cross their T's and dot the i's and since they are the Judges star witness she thought I should take the deal and should not fight for a few more days.
I thought that the wife will not agree to this, but to my surprise she did. I just thought wow she's acting more mature than me
GAL sent a new PAJ around 6 hours ago, we all verbally agreed to it but didn't sign off to anything. 30 minutes ago STBX knocked on my door and told me that her lawyer made a mistake and she will not agree to this settlement.
Really can't make this stuff up, i knew this would happen. Funny thing if they come up with 10 agreements STBX will agree to each and everyone and then change her mind a few minutes later.
Guys have you seen anything like this before? I mean RED on this board suggested this same thing a few weeks ago that my STBX will not agree to anything short of sole custody and now this is happening
Any advice? Suggestions? How do you guys see this?
Thanks
