Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Gal

My children, ages 18&16 have a GAL that they feel has not been representing them properly. The GAL has let them know her feelings towards the mother in this case which is not good. She has told the children that she only listens to ten percent of what they children has to say. Its too late to get a new GAL, is there something else the kids can do so they can be heard? They were told that they can not be at the courthouse when their parents go to trial.
