Trial Court Appoint Child’s Evaluation NOT Guardian Ad Litem

Posted Nov.23, 2009 by Cynthia J. Remboldt, Esq., under Custody, Evidence

 disinterest party, guardian ad litem, psychological evaluation

Judgment affirmed in parties’ divorce case; given conflicting evidence, trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting primary physical custody of parties’ children to wife; husband’s objection to trial court’s appointment of woman, who met wife and children, in her role as executive director of children advocacy center, rejected, since trial court appointed woman to evaluate children’s psychological condition and parental relationships, not to serve as children’s guardian ad litem.

From:  Fulton County Daily Report (10/16/09).
