Who is this GAL person? Do they not understand that forcing this poor child to see her father when she doesnt want to can cause her harm, mentally and emotionally. My GOD, what the hell is wrong with these people. I would contact your lawyer and tell her what you were told.

In the meantime, you need to have some things ammended in your seperation agreement/divorce papers. You can do that. I did. This is perposterous (sp). I can not beleive they will force a child of 14 to see someone she doesnt want to see. I know that in the sate of VA, a child can pick which parent they would like to live with. She is old enough to know what is going on and obviously there are some unresolved issues between her and her father and I think that maybe some hard core counselling is in order for both Alexa and Tony.

I am so sorry about this. Hug her tight and tell her that you love her.

Hugs to you,


Jen
