I have 50/50 custody with my STBXW. We have a Guardian Ad Litum and he had recommended 50/50 in the custody hearing early 2024.

My 11 year old son told me recently that his mother punched him in the back twice, wrestled his phone away and threw it against the wall (the phone). He also said that she calls them (him and our 9 year old daughter) “bitch” sometimes (he said only a few times a month).

My attorney said to schedule an appointment with the GAL, which I did. Appointment is this Wednesday.

Any of you have experience with this? What was the outcome?

As a side note, our daughter needs eye surgery to fix a lazy eye. She is refusing to get it done until after the divorce is completed (I have text messages with her stating this). Trial was set for November (because she won’t agree to anything) but she filed a request to change the judge (current judge is male). Changing the judge will change the court date until sometime next year. I don’t want to wait that long for surgery. I got a letter from her eye doctor saying she needs it done ASAP. I will present this to the GAL.

Also, my STBXW interferes with my custody time. I allow my daughter to sleep over at girlfriends. My ex told my daughter she can’t do this anymore (I also have text messages with her stating this). I have 4 other examples of her interfering to present to GAL (documented with dates etc).

Anyone with experience about the above?
