Alienated child reported when they were younger they were abused by mom and asked their LGAL (Lawyer Guardian Ad Litem) to share custody between dad and mom but that lawyer lied in court and had a professional relationship with mom's lawyer.
Here is my reply in the hopes that it serves the interests of justice and helps to protect children from child abuse.
I'm not an attorney and this is not legal advice.

I would consider a complaint to your state's Bar Association and its State Disciplinary Committee. The ABA has links for each state:
Complaints Against Lawyers
The ABA is not a lawyer disciplinary agency and has no authority to investigate or act upon complaints filed against lawyers. Each state has its own agency that performs that function in regard to lawyers practicing in that state. Locate your state agency from the Directory of State Disciplinary Agencies.

Each state has documented rules of professional conduct for attorneys. Most are very similar to the model rules published by the American Bar Association (ABA):
Model Rules of Professional Conduct

Possible cause for a federal civil rights action or lawsuit (often against a municipality, state, non-profit agency, or company) under:
42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1983
US courts provide forms:
Complaint for Violation of Civil Rights (Non-Prisoner)

Possible basis of a class action lawsuit for similar situated people:

I wish you the best of luck in your search for justice.
