1 /5 Tiffany Soukup: Loni was the GAL for my case. At first everything was fine. Her paralegal at that time wrote up a wonderful report that was fair and honest and basically just explained who the father and I were as people there were no bias. There were no scathing words about either parent. Not too long after that report was turned in our court date was postponed several months in which time, that paralegal quit, which I was not informed of. I had been emailing her for months with my check-in’s. I was not told that she was no longer working for the attorney until one day a new paralegal reached out to me. She was rude, scathing, unkind, and cold towards my children. She lied and created stories about the previous paralegal and stated that she needed to do new home visits. After those home visits all of the sudden, I am a terrible parent. I keep a dirty home, mind you my home was on the market at the time that she viewed my house so the house was spotless and professionally cleaned to be prepared for people to view my home to buy it. She constantly canceled appointments last minute to make it seem like I was hard to get a hold of. In the end, I see my children six evenings a month if that. I’ve never even had a speeding ticket in my life. But because of the lies and manipulation of the GAL report i only see them max, six days a month, bc I’m not rich. After reaching out to several families that were assigned her as their GAL, I found that if you hire an attorney that she’s friends with, she will side with you, if you slide her a little extra cash, she will side with you. Also, she went to school with two of the well-known judges in Paulding County and she is friends with so they are biased to whomever she recommends. And usually like I said, she recommends whoever pays her more or whoever hire an attorney that she’s friends with. Avoid at all costs if you want a fair shake when it comes to a GAL.
