Ok, first the ruthless part of me speaks. Did the sitter hear Ave's side of the phone conversation? I'm all for witnesses. And I don't need to tell you to document ;-).
I don't know much about GALs, but aren't they appointed to serve the best interests of the child? Maybe you could go to her on this. At least Ave is seeing her counsellor before she goes.
STBX needs a kick up the pants from someone. Of course Ave is going to be confused and clingy - his behaviour has more than contributed to that. It's about time he put her feelings first instead of acting like a spoilt baby who thinks a child's feelings are a bargaining tool. Grrrr.
Finally, the part about semantics - its called manners. Basic good manners. They are easy and no fees involved. I'd certainly call him on this (after the visit, of course). Boundary setting, yay.

(OK, spot the insomniac who got up in a cynical mood! Yes, she's right behind this computer screen lol).
Well, it wasnt horrible, but not great either.
