Rights of non-custodial on counseling for child

[Just Blue]

Matter was resolved yesterday with modifications to visitation [essentually what we've been doing] along with an extended summer break. All other conditions addressed in the previous order would remain in force; C/S, parental rights, IRS. The psychologist, GAL, magistrate and judge found no evidence to honor the defendant's claims for a change in custody.

Regarding the psychologist, at our initial hearing the opposing attorney stated the doctor was in favor of a change in custody, naturally at our next session I brough this up. At which point he almost fell on the floor. He said, I've been meeting with you and your son on a bi-monthly basis for over a year. The met the child's mother once during that period.

At the same hearing I was initially disappointed when the magistrate agreed for a new GAL to be appointed and the one chosen was hand-picked by opposing counseling. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded and when after reviewing the facts came to the same conclusion as other impartial individuals associated with our case - change in custody denied.

I do appreciate the input from members on this community. Couldn't have navigated the process w/o the help I received from numerous sources.

Happy Holidays.

Happy Holidays and blessings to any children that have you for a parent.
