Registration is open for parenting investigator and guardian ad litem Initial Certification Training. A workshop will be held June 3-5 in Bismarck.
A guardian ad litem serves as an advocate of a child’s best interests in any action for an annulment, divorce, legal separation, or other action affecting marriage, when either party has concern as to the future of their minor children. A guardian ad litem must be a licensed attorney.
A parenting investigator is assigned by the court when there is a dispute over parenting time or rights and responsibilities of the parent’s child(ren). A parenting investigator will gather facts about the family to assist the judge in making the best decisions about the child(ren).
