Help has anyone ever worked with an guardian ad litem in a divorce case? Any advice of what to expect?

I am in a divorce and my husband has severe drug and alchohol issues, his attorney on his behalf requested a guardian ad litem and I am worried I do not know anyone who has worked with one or went through this experience. Will the guardian ad litem take into account the police reports made, his arrest, jail time ect? What should I do to prepare? My son is 2 months old and he wants full custody...help advice anyone?Help has anyone ever worked with an guardian ad litem in a divorce case? Any advice of what to expect?
a guardian ad litem is supposed to act on behalf of the child. Bring the police reports, arrests, jail time, etc to her attention. Don't expect her to find anything on her own. Where I live, the guardian ad litems are volunteers....some are even college students. Yes, they go through training, but at the same time, this is your child, and you don't want to risk anything being overlooked. Try to show any proof (and your concern) of your husband's drug issues. The guardian ad litem will (should) use all of this info when making her recommendation to the court. Most likely, he will not get custody if you show you have a suitable income and a stable place to live.Help has anyone ever worked with an guardian ad litem in a divorce case?

my daughter's hubby, has children by an ex who recently took him to court wanting custody of the son, a guardian ad litem makes recomendations to the court and the judge usually follows their advice. it will be taken into account his record, and drug use. he wants custody so he will not have to pay child support. make sure u make aware to the guardian his record. they usually do appoint a guardian, and the judge listens to the guradian, their opinions carry alot of weight.
Yes, I've had the unfortunate experience to deal with a ';guardian ad litem';.





My experience is that it's just another way to suck money out of two people going thru a divorce. The ad litem has only his/her selfish interest ($$$) at heart.





In theory, it's a wonderful concept for someone to represent the interests of the children. In practice, it's reprehensible.
