What is a Guardian
Ad Litem
The
volunteer Guardian Ad Litem is a representative for the child before
the court, social service agencies, and the community.
Guardian Ad Litem responsibilities include: |
- Monitoring the child's
case to insure proper services are received
- Protecting the child
from insensitive questioning
- Speaking for the child in court
- Reporting information to assist the Court in determining the best
interests of the child.
|
Individuals who have common sense and
good judgment may be eligible to become a Guardian Ad Litem
volunteer. A Guardian Ad Litem does not have to be a lawyer,
counselor, therapist, or parent, since he/she does not perform these
roles for the child. A Guardian Ad Litem is a person who cares
and has time to devote to children. Each volunteer must
attend over 30 hours of training and successfully pass a thorough
background screening. |
