Asked on Jan 25th, 2018 on Child Custody - Oregon
More details to this question:
My ex has said that my son is scared of me and has in the past called dhs on me but nothing was found, she wrote a letter to the judge and has said that my sons psychiatrist and dhs have requested that my kids be taken from me but from what my son says he hasn’t been to his dr since last year. And also seems like what dhs has said isn’t what my son has told them. Courts took my son from me but he doesn’t want to live with his mom

Hey Joseph, the Guardian ad litem, the court orders one to represent the best interest of the child. However, the payment for the Guardian ad litem is divided and split into two by both parties. The court took your son from you and he does not want to live with her. Just because she is a woman, the ball is in her court and fathers are left to find a competent and aggressive attorney that specializes in fathers rights like we do.
