Your desired solution could be a fair and equitable distribution of holidays with your child. Providing a proposed schedule may help. Discuss this with your lawyer, they can guide you based on your specific circumstances and the best interest of your child.

Yes, even if she is the child's lawyer or Guardian ad Litem. It's crucial to openly communicate your concerns and desires. Just remember, her primary duty is to advocate for the child's best interests.

You may ask your lawyer:
- How best to communicate your concerns to the GAL,

These questions can guide your next actions.

In the middle of your letter, you can:

- Express your willingness to cooperate for the child's best interest.

Here's how you can phrase it in your letter:
"Following our introductory conversation, I wish to detail the repeated instances of non-compliance by my spouse with the holiday arrangements, particularly on [specific dates]. Despite my attempts, he has shown a lack of cooperation in communication.
Enclosed are copies of our correspondence to validate my claims. I propose a fair division of holidays, as it is in the best interest of our child. I am open to suggestions and look forward to hearing your advice on how to proceed."

If the communication is through the girlfriend, not the father, it may complicate matters. You should:
- Continue documenting instances of non-compliance.
- Record any communication with the girlfriend.
- Consult your lawyer about the girlfriend's involvement.
Remember, this advice is general and may not apply to your specific situation.

*. Start with a professional greeting and introduction.
*. Detail instances of non-compliance and lack of communication.
*. Discuss interactions with the girlfriend, if applicable.
*. Propose a fair holiday schedule.
*. Request advice or action from your lawyer.
