So he withdrew the motions. I think he filed them in the first place in order to back up the theory that he believed she would return. Now that it is appearing less likely she will return, even to the average observer, it is probably more important to try to repair his image. Filing those motions didn't do much for him on the PR front. Now he can drop them because they have served their purpose, as far as I'm concerned.
I do remain most concerned for the children, and I'm afraid that withdrawing the motions is bad news for them. Whether he is innocent or not, I do not believe it is in his best interests to permit them to be talking to anybody. I think it is extremely important for the court to intervene somehow on behalf of the children. Withdrawing the motions has taken the court out of the loop for the moment, and I think that is very bad news.
As to the mention of the school counselor being a resource, that is now a couple months away at best. Even then, I do not know whether a school counselor can speak to the children without parent consent. Furthermore, if a parent were to specifically request the counselor NOT speak to the children, I very much doubt the school could go against that. Does anybody know?
I would really like to hear gitana1's thoughts on resources for the children. GAL? CASA? A counselor not hand-picked by dad?
