How should we select a Guardian Ad Litem?
Sometimes you don’t get much choice in a Guardian Ad Litem, the Court will simply appoint the Guardian Ad Litem they feel would be best for your family. However, if you have the choice, you and your attorney should work together to consider the best choice for your family. You will want to look at the experience and the reputation the Guardian Ad Litem has in the community. You want a Guardian Ad Litem who will respect your child/ren, remain neutral as between the two parents, and provide a timely and thorough report and recommendation to the Court.
