My son has been appointed a guradian ad litem. Does anyone know how much this will cost in the state of NJ?

Question

My son, who has been abused by my ex husband for many years, has FINALLY been appointed a guardian ad litem by the court. ( this is a special attorney who acts in the best interest of the child) Does anyone know how much it will cost me? I'd also like to know, if anyone kinows, what exactly this person will do to protect my son?

Answer 1

In NJ services like this are either free or means-tested. So if they have not asked you for income information, you have no financial responsibility. Whichever way you look at it, it is much cheaper than having a private attorney and I am sure they will do a very good job.

Answer 2

In South Carolina, where I live, court apointed Guardian ad Litums are free. They represent the best interest of the child so he doesn't end up in the middle of a tug of war between the parents. It's done because legaaly they can't have a lawyer, because that invoves signing a contract, but it serves the same function.

Answer 3

no remember if it somewhat is a sitter or caregiver the money they desire will upload up quickly...right here in the event that they got here via an employer it may fee $20 or extra in line with hour and thanks to this they do this in the process four-hour increments. some relatives member could prefer to take a seat for $8 an hour. Sitting does "no longer" advise feeding, cleansing, laundering, making the nutrients, dressing the guy and bathing them. And whomever the dad or mum is could desire to notice that your grandfather's money would be used up quickly that way. possibly relatives could pitch in and spend an afternoon with the grandfather as quickly as a week and not charge him something.

Answer 4

in va when the state appoints one, the state pays for the services. probably the same in nj. he/she will make sure your son "best" interests protected.
