We hope this section of our site will help shed some light on the Guardian ad Litem and their roll in your children's lives after divorce…and that of the lives of your whole family.
Our main focus is to give you all the information you need to travel through the world of your divorce when there are children involved.

We hope this section will inform you and give you a little peace about the Guardian ad Litem that is now imbedded in your life.

The secrecy that limits you from knowing what is going on in your child's life once they are appointed is something that may be hard for you to live with. The fees you may be forced to pay when one is appointed could also be very hard to deal with. Just the fact that someone else is now involved in your split with your mate…is again something that may be hard to handle.

We have mixed emotions about the Guardian ad Litem…we have seen both sides of the coin. The three ring circus you once called your marriage – that is your spouse, your child(ren) and yourself – will now turn into a four sided nightmare – that is your spouse, your child(ren), yourself and the GUARDIAN.

No matter the out come of your divorce…you will now be left without a spouse…you will pay child support…you may or may not see your kids on a regular basis…but you will now deal with a person other than you or you ex that will help you tell your kids how to think and react to what you and your ex now do as a divorced couple.

If you decide to hire a Guardian ad Litem on your own…be prepared to pay a large bill for help that you will never know the out come of the Guardian's report…and don't be surprised if your soon to be ex-spouse will not agree to you hiring a third party to help with your children's rights.
