This is an individual (not necessarily an attorney) appointed to speak for the interests of someone needing a voice. While most often this is a child in a divorce proceeding (my step brother had one), it can also be an elderly person or a disabled person.

Its a lawyer that is appointed to a child, and tries to get the judge to do whats best for the child. The lawyer does not side with the mother or father.
