questions & answers
Question: I am pursuing custody of my 9 year old son and was told I should try and get a Guardian ad litem but I can't find anything about what is required to request one, or what guidelines the court follows in granting one. What do I need to do this?

An individual can petition the Court for his or her child to be assigned a best interest attorney (guardian ad litem).
