What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
I just had a question. Me and my ex had a mediation meeting with the GAL on our case over our daughter today, Per ex's Request... I am in the process of moving to the area of where my daughter lives in the next two months. Ex (Father) of child wants to change what was granted by the judge just in January of 2011. It was granted 50/50 timeshare, and wants to change that now to keep it as it now (due to distance) where i get 20% of the time. The GAL asked him why he feels it is not in child's best interest to get this time with me, and he said because when i had her the first 7 1/2 years, it wasn't 50/50 (but again, it was because of the distance - not feasable) - The GAL doesn't want to take this to court, and wants us to just agree - but he won't agree to anything, unless it is less time with me.
My question is this - The GAL says we can get into court in the next 2 weeks - It is up to HIM to prove why it isn't in child's best interest to keep the order that was granted just in Jan 2011? Or must i prove to the court why it must stay how it was granted/Ordered in Jan 2011?
