NELA LAUGHRIDGE should NOT be allowed to be a Guardian ad Litem! She is absolutely Corrupt and it NEEDS to be brought to light! Corrupt criminally or through sheer willful negligence. Her behavior was despicable & deplorable! She not only failed in her sole duty to be and remain an unbiased agent of the court, ready to submit upon judicial request, a fair an objective report based on her honest observations or opinions thereof but, also FAILED MISERABLY in her Fundamental Purpose to serve that which is in the Best Interest of the Children! SAD but, UNDENIABLY TRUE! Her words & actions have to be held to account! She repeatedly exposed herself as being horribly biased, rendered incapable of carrying out her duties due to various personal conflicts of interest or possibly, supremely focused on prolonging the case to wrongfully scrape as much money from it as she could. I can make strong arguments with solid evidence to support claims for all of the above. But WORST of all, NELA haphazardly operated counter to that which was in the Kid's Best Interests and indeed, on several occasions, literally put my children's welfare in jeopardy! I am a single Father. As a Father, I am protective & Value my Children's best interests HIGHLY. Even if that meant it might be best for them NOT to be with me. So, I am NOT just an upset parent lashing out because I didn't get my way...The fact is, I was awarded primary Custody two times over but, after the Mother of my children (Defendant) absconded with our children across the country, (as I feared she might and stated as much in my initial court filings) I started to feel HELPLESS & HOPELESS! Utterly alone in the absurd ridiculousness of it all, while my children suffered at the mercy of this court's inadequacies to properly remedy our deteriorating custody situation. Simultaneously disadvantaged tremendously by our "GAL" that seemed aloof at best & at worst, Malicious! Even DANGEROUS! To be specific, her most egregious assault on us happened after I quit a Great Job to find & reacquire my children from the other side of the Country. I had learned that the Defendant left them (with family) while she lived, worked & played on the OPPOSITE COAST! When I finally managed to safely return home with them, I quickly emailed NELA a detailed overview of why I felt IMMEDIATE ACTION had to be taken to prevent the Defendant from ABSCONDING AGAIN! Further destabilizing & terrorizing our lives & home! NELA also received my packet with extensive evidence to substantiate my claims. Due to the Defendant's numerous death threats, disparaging remarks in front of the kids + her troubling, erratic behavior, I impressed upon NELA (our ONLY OPTION for an emergency hearing at that time) for the sake of the CHILDREN'S BEST INTERESTS, the vital importance of quickly getting us in front of a Judge. I sought to TEMPORARILY revoke the Defendant's visitation rights until she could show the court that necessary & positive changes had been made. Needless to say, NELA, in dereliction of duty as she SO was, DENIED this needed request based on HER opinion that there was NOT good reason (Mother whom is in constant violation of a custody agreement + kidnaps kids across the country then abandons them and is now posturing to do it again is, NOT GOOD ENOUGH REASON!?!) to call for such a hearing. But that wasn't the jaw breaker!!! What made Nela officially corrupt was that after she denied my justified request, she then, as if she was an attorney working for the DEFENDANT, forwarded my private detailed pleading for assistance & future plan to legally restrict the Defendant's access to the children, DIRECTLY TO THE IRRATIONALLY & IRRESPONSIBLY BEHAVING crazy Mommy Bear!!! I guess as a kind of, MOTHER 2 MOTHER "Heads Up" play to the Defendant! Disclosing everything! Which of course, shot the Defendant into deliberate IRESPONSIBLE action that culminated in the Defendant absconding once again with our children at the very next opportunity she had to exercise her right to legal visitation. See yelp's reviews! She is a GAL from HELL!!!
