What is the name of your state? Alaska Do Guardian Ad Litems have to keep their notes on a case after they are dismissed or can they destroy them? If they are required to keep them, how long. In Alaska, the Guardian Ad Litem is considered a party to the case. My step son's guardian ad litem...

Hey Zigner and HRZ do you know if alaska state civil courts can issue an order for the cancellation of a child's Medicaid if it requires a separate application from SSI? But it is a stand alone SSI and Medicaid for a child with a disability. It is not tied to either parent's household.

We live in the same state of Alaska. However, he is in a different town, and I cannot afford travel to him to be a part of the IEP meetings. All of his services are provided to him locally in Anchorage.

They are both low income, but one wants private insurance and the other does not. They both cannot afford the high premiums and out of pocket. The one who does not want private insurance is disabled. I was just wondering if a judge could order Medicaid to be dropped

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the discussion. I know nothing about legalities and it looks like I really need to start today by talking with the team. I am hoping we are all willing to compromise and come to some solution and create a safety plan. However, they are very protective of their...

Thank you, and for sure there is more to the story than I can relate here. There is a whole lot going on.

The courts are not involved.

He does have an IEP. I have not met with anyone from the high school yet. I am so inundated with issues in the home I haven't yet addressed my son's schooling. He is struggling a bit there, but that is mainly because he has not attended mainstream classes for several years. That will be the next...
