Q: could you explain to me the scope of responsibility of an Daurdian ad Litem in a child dependancy case..
gaurdian ad kidem seems to be overstepping her boundries in my on going child dependancy case. or modern day witch hunt as i have grown fond of calking it. gave me direct cut and dry orders that my child could not go to the school she was currently enrolled and needed to be reenrolled in the publuc school system. Do i obey or continue to stand firm and behind my statement of Please place it in your report to the judge along with your reccomendations. GOOD DAY!!!!
A: Be very careful because the Judge knows the guardian ad litem a lot better than they know you; be prepared to convince the Judge--not the guardian--that the school you want to send the child to is fully accredited and is otherwise a good school. Too many parents think the public school system is terrible and that their child should not have to attend if the parent does not want them to; that is NOT the law.
