Yesterday the GAL Board faxed a letter to our lawyer stating the the GAL assigned to us is NOT certified.
Today in the mail we got the Motion to Dismiss the GAL (included was the letter from the GAL Board). So now we wait to see what the judge orders.
Interestingly, our lawyer spoke to our GAL 11/24 regarding our concerns. Then on 11/25 she proceeds to send us the questionnaire. I'm sure she will try to deduct some money from what she has to refund us for all that "work" she did already. I also find it strange that her letter accompanying the questionnaire is addressed 11/25, yet the postmark is 12/3 and we just got it today.
A tribute to the hurdles of the past, the pleasures of today, and the hope for the future...

I think I would tell that GAL that she ought not represent herself as a certified GAL if she isn't and then expect to get paid. I have a favorite phrase that an attorney friend of mine uses frequently, "Pound sand." Yeah, I would use that one when she sends you a bill.
Hope you get someone decent appointed on the next go 'round.
I love that, Stephanie - Pound sand!
Unfortunately, she already cashed our check (you have to pay upfront before they even begin to do any work - and we had sent the check just before we had discovered she was uncertified), so it is kind of in her hands if we get all our money back or not. I can't image she can charge too much for sending a letter, though!
At least the county court will have to remove her from the list, and no other unsuspecting families are going to have to deal with her!
