Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Will This Make A Difference

My ex put in a motion to the court in regards to custody and visitation. I in turn put in a counter motion. A Gal was appointed and according to the paper from the court they were appointed on her motion. The GAL came up with orders but I am listed as the Petitioner and my ex as the Respondent. Does this make a difference. I know that we both filled motions so essentially we are interchangeable as being the petitioner and the respondent. But since the court papers state that the GAL was appointed because of her motion shouldn't I be listed as the respondent and her as the petitioner. The order has already been put into effect and signed. I guess I am at fault too because I did not notice this. Will this make any type of difference? Do these orders need to be rewritten or left the way that they are?

No, what you've pointed out should make no difference whatsoever in the court's final determination and order reflecting that decision.
