Re: social services
It depends on what you mean by "discuss" here. A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is REQUIRED to conduct an investigation into the facts of each particular case, and that generally involves talking with witnesses other than the parents, caseworkers, or attorneys.
If you need more information, you can visit our family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). Good luck to you.
