<span style="font-size:16.0pt">Similarly, my first thought was for any concerned party to write to social services requesting a review of matters. However, I am curious how your friend has a guardian involved over his child. I feel like there are facts we
may not know preventing him from making that call?</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size:16.0pt">A motion will likely need to be filed and then a GAL appointed for child. I would say there would have to be a showing that the guardian is not acting in the best interest of the ward. But in the interest of disclosure, I have
not gone through this process.</span></p>
