The court wants to determine which parent is being truthful
2006-07-08 20:01:42 · update #2
My daughter (now 16) had the same Guardian ad Litem both times we went to court and both times the ad Litem agreed she would be better staying with me. My daughter lives with her dad, though, because the last time my ex brainwashed her into believing she would be better off with him. The Guardian ad Litem went to the judge and told him of my daughter's wishes (she was 14 at the time). The next day, her step-mom gave birth to twin boys and my daughter is the one raising them.

Depends on the circumstances surrounding the situation. The age of the child, why ad Litem was called in to begin with, what the court wants. Remember the are not making decisions only making reccomendations to the court, if you have an issue with the way your case was handled by the af Litem prgram talk to someone higher up and your attorney.
Sometimes it is better to try and solve the problem without asking the child questions that can make them feel their loyality is being tested against one parent or another. Through talking with other adults involved the answer is sometimes reached and it is less stressful on the child that way. Still if you feel things are being mishandled then talk to your attorney or case worker
