My daughter's Guardian ad Litem is a scumbag. He knows my oldest daughter is breaking the law and will not enforce the visitation. So, by default, doesn't that make him just as guilty of breaking the law too ? Contempt of court and all of that ?

Lawyers have special protections in this situation, known as attorney-client privilege. It basically means lawyers generally do not (and cannot) report illegal conduct by their clients to anyone except in specified situations. This is put in place to ensure everyone is able to freely discuss legal situations with their lawyers, as everyone has a right to do.
It's only if a lawyer is involved in committing the crimes that the privilege doesn't apply. Simply giving legal advice doesn't count, though- it has to be more than that.
