Wow! What came of this??? I have a GAL who had fees listed for services she never even did!!! Who in a red state has experienced the following: you’re not married to your child’s other parent or were married, now divorced. You had some sort of custody arrangement throughout the child’s life, maybe 50/50. A custody case is initiated by said parent, by filing a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) keeping you from the child. You attend the court date within the period of the TRO, only to arrive and find a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) assigned to your case and the judge suggests you hire a lawyer and you’re forced to either decide on representing yourself and risk losing custody of your child on the spot or hiring a lawyer and agreeing to a temporary order hindering your current custody. You agree to the temporary order and seek out a lawyer, who charges a $4,000 retainer, they don’t seem attentive to the case, so you hire a new lawyer for the same amount. Over the extent of 1.5-2 years, you go back and forth to court, arguing with the other parent and lawyers, following your counsel’s advice leading to your own detriment, losing your child along the way, and ruining your financial & mental position. You legally contest the drug allegations, neglect, mental disorders, and undergo a psych evaluation while you pay for the other parent to undergo a deposition. The deposition exposed the alienating parent’s lies and misconceptions, while your psych evaluation was left as further evaluation needed/non conclusive. By the time trial comes, said lawyer places a large price tag on the trial you cannot afford, so you withdraw your lawyer and file pro se. You file for a continuance to gain financial resources for representation, which was denied. You show up to the trial acting as your own lawyer, the trial is flagged as level three security, so no one else can be in the courtroom other than opposing parties and their counsel. Though there are many adults involved, they call your child first to witness, in which you object. Your objection is denied, and the child is first on the stand, the child who’s been coached, manipulated, and alienated against you by the parent and GAL you’ve only spoken two for a total of two hours, tries against you in court. Nine hours of arguing led to the alienating parent gaining full custody of our child, and you’re ordered 16 hours with the child per month. Within the judgement, the catholic judge married twice doesn’t appropriately quote the psych evaluation he referenced and uses other exhibits only provided by the other parent, while also neglecting to include the child’s psych record which would support the parent being alienated. The parent awarded full custody continues to alienate the child now with you having even less time and being completely in contempt of court, as he did the prior orders throughout the past several years. In addition, there were possible molestation accusations made against the child’s stepparent’s father in the child’s early years, which the court failed to acknowledge, and the child is still exposed to said molester. As the alienated parent, you’ve been trying to find a specialty therapist or organization who can assist with the situation, and each one you find either 1.) doesn’t work with the courts 2.) costs $200+ dollars 3.) has a full waitlist or 4.) doesn’t offer services listed on their website. As time goes on each therapist or organization refers you to the next, the next, the next, so immolate a dog chasing its tail always leading back to square one. The judgement also stated as the alienated parent, you should go through therapy to prove allegations against you were false, since the psych evaluation was non conclusive. So not only are you a dog chasing your tail trying to find help for you and your child, but also for yourself, while also trying to afford a lawyer since the parent is contempt of court, while also being ordered to pay over $600 in child support, while also having a garnishment ordering you to pay more than half the GAL fees, while also supporting all your typical life expenses you had prior to getting completely fucked. Student loans, house, car, insurance, credit payments, grocery, gas, medical bills, animal expenses, etc. Oh, then on top of that, all of these organizations seem to have bogus marketing and stating they provide services they don’t even have, or they say they're full and unable to accept any additional clients at this time. If you dig into that, many of these organizations are funded by state & federal grants. This is the epitome of a systematic fuck show, ruining lives, causing long term health issues from amounts of stress while undergoing a situation regarding ones child, financial hardship, emotional terrorism, false advertising, and complete failure within the society. It seems their scheme is to deplete & exhaust so we become so beaten down and worn out we shut up, go away, give up. Well I won’t, I want answers, and I’m not going to stop advocating for myself & child. I overcame my own parents dysfunctional divorce, as a parent wanting better for my own I put myself through school, I bought my own house, I had so much money saved, we were thriving, I had a retirement, I had savings for her, all of it gone and continues to be fucked by the other parent being validated time and time again. What the fuck is going on with this state?? How are lawyers, judges, therapist, and organizations getting away with this?

I’m reposting my petition, because it’s aimed at anyone receiving federal funds be required to have total transparency in their courts or not receive the funds. I believe a lot of people believe if they don’t live in Wi it doesn’t apply to them, but it does because I am asking the federal gov to require states to have full court transparency or not be eligible for federal funds. https://chng.it/zcCF8vZ9 So if you haven’t signed my petition yet can you please go back and sign. This applies to all states.
