What is the rcw defining an unfit parent in Washington state
We have a family law dissolution case in clark county. The Judge appointed a GAL 6 months ago. We filed a grievance against her because she has not followed the rules governing the GAL. She has not made a home visit with the father ,and now wants to tell the court he is unfit. Because he does not call her even though the rules state she is to go through his attorney to arrange contact. What defines unfit? What is the RCW regatding this definition. The mother is unfit. How much power does she have and can the judge take her recommendation with no grounds other than not calling the GAL (which has nothing to do with how he treats his children)?

If a GAL is appointed in the "best interest of the children", and continually gets up in court andmisleads the judge and you have proof of it, and the judge refuses to look at the proof or even listen about it, how do you get her off the case? I have the rules for the GALs in Washington, and am in the process of filing a grievance, but by the time they do their thing (they have 25 days) the damage to the children may be irrepairable. She has put one in foster care, because the mother cannot deal with him and her home is filthy and the father is "unfit" because she is "not sure that the school district we live in is good enough for them" and "he lives in a trailer" and she is not sure she is comfortable with that. ( She has NOT made a home visit to see that it is clean, dirty, or anything!) Is that grounds for finding the father "unfit"? The sad part is the Judge hangs on every word from her mouth. He said when we start paying for her we can have a say so. As of Monday 1 child goes into foster care and the other stays with the mother? If she is unfit for one, doesn't it stand to reason she is unfit for the other?
