What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Can someone tell me exactly what the Guardian ad litem looks for as far as interviewing the parents and the child who is 5 years old? I live out of state but court is held in Virginia where the child lives which means that the Guardian ad litem is going to do everything through a phone interview and pictures of my home. My interview is not until the 15th of August but I want to know exactly how this process will work? What do they ask you in the background check? Will they want to talk to anyone else? The GAL cannot really examine my interaction with the child considering the fact that he lives over 1000 miles away from me. Also, can anyone tell me what they will talk to my son about considering the fact that he is 5? My BM told me that they talked to him but won't tell me any more information. Can I ask the GAL what he asked him or is that private?
