Advocating For The Best Interest Of Children
While all states have statutes that provide for the appointment of a guardian or attorney for the child, Illinois is one of only three states in which a statute permits the court to appoint an attorney for the child, a guardian ad litem or an attorney to serve in both capacities. A guardian ad litem is appointed to represent the child’s best interests in a lawsuit and is different from an attorney in that the guardian is bound to determine and advocate for the child client’s best interest, which can be at odds with the child’s preference. A guardian or attorney may be requested by a concerned parent or appointed by a judge if the parents are acrimonious. It’s not uncommon for judges to appoint an attorney from our firm as one of these child advocates in complicated custody and visitation cases.
