The court should be the one to appoint the guardian for him. It works the same as in custody cases. However, in custody cases the parents have to share the cost of the guardian. I'm not sure how it would work in a divorce. Guardians are chosen from the lawyers in the jurisdiction where your divorce proccedings will take place. Did he have a public defender when he went to court for his crime in the first place? If so, contact that attorney on his behalf and see what they recommend.

Guardian Ad Litems are generally appointed for minors. You have no responsibility to get an attorney or anyone else on your husband's behalf, no matter what.

The legal profession is trying to gouge you (I think). His attorney will probably be his "Guardian Ad Litem", though i cannot be sure.
Some states have quick divorce forms, if you can get him to sign it.
Most states have some self help sites, utah's is below.

Sounds as if the courts want someone appointed who can represent him in court in the matter of the divorce.
