Guardian Ad Litem Ohio?

Update:

Guardian Ad Litem, Ohio

Is it worth the cost?

My child's mother is never there with my son, he is being raised by her parents. She has been seen being very abusive and angry with him; cussing, smoking weed and cigarettes with him in the room. If a guardian ad litem shows up a few times randomly I am going to file a motion to appoint one. If it's only one scheduled visit, its not gonna be worth it because she is just going to stage herself there in a good environment.

    A Guardian Ad Litem represents minors in court actions only. What you want is a professional guardian. Just Google "guardian" in your city.

    A guardian appointed by the court to represent the interests of Infants, the unborn, or incompetent persons in legal actions.

    Guardians are adults who are legally responsible for protecting the well-being and interests of their ward, who is usually a minor. A guardian ad litem is a unique type of guardian in a relationship that has been created by a court order only for the duration of a legal action. Courts appoint these special representatives for infants, minors, and mentally incompetent persons, all of whom generally need help protecting their rights in court. Such court-appointed guardians figure in divorces, child neglect and abuse cases, paternity suits, contested inheritances, and so forth, and are usually attorneys.
