A: It is not required. If the report is not already drafted, it takes many hours to do that and will cost the parties probably an additional $5,000 at least. So they may have paid for the investigation, but the written report is more.
A: Yes and No. The rules require a Guardian ad Litem to sumibt a written report "unless otherwise directed by the appointing judge." Often, a good guardian will spend several hours on a written report, and they can be costly. If either side insists on a report, it will likely we required, but payment for the report will be required in advance.
