That is solid gold info, too bad you severed ties with people before you could get thier statement on tape. What your mother said to you about turning you in to SS would really hurt her case.

Im sure you probally know this but it should be said anyway. This papertrail could really come back to haunt you if you were planning on getting custody of the children (and I believe that is what you want because you seem to object to the SIL getting custody of them). If your mother submits this email in court, you dont stand a snowballs chance in you know where as these statements are not the statements of a reasonable and rational person and a judge will be fearful of putting the kids in your custody because you may do the same with them that you are doing with yourself, you DH and your own children. In fact, its highly doubtful the judge would even see it as the GAL would weed you out as a possable home for the children. Im sure your lawyer already told you this but the rules when going to court are to never say anything that can be used against you and always leave the lines of comunication open with the other party so you can use what they say againts them. Of the 3 above rules, you broke 2 but can repair it somewhat by taking your mother off the blocked sender list. With her on the blocked list and her not talking to you, all 3 are effectivly broken.
Are you sure the GAL didnt represent the children dispite being on vacation? As you probally know, the system dont come to a screahing halt when one person leaves town, GALs here frequently type up a brief and recomendation on cases they dont actually personally attend. Unless you know the system, it can easily seem like the kids were unrepresented but even in the most backwards states, the judge wont be ruling without input from the GAL or the children, if not both. He may make a temp ruling but that gets reviewed at a later date and that sounds like what happened here due to the fast court date (the wheels of justace move slow is the old phrase). Final ruling would be in a couple weeks/months.
Sorry to hear of kids getting beat up like this. There is no excuse for domestic violence. I wish you still had visition rights with the boy as you could feed him all the steak and good food he could eat. Kids that age get blessed by mother nature with a thing called puberty and when well feed and in good endurence sports, they soon turn the tables on the abuser. I seen it happen many times with kids I went to school with.
