I received a bill for payment of my child’s Guardian Ad Litem, and I don’t understand why I’m responsible to pay it. What's going on?

Under the Appropriations Act of 2002, parents are responsible for paying the costs of court-ordered Guardians Ad Litem for children, if so ordered by the Court.


Please see Virginia Code § 16.1-266. [law changing 7/1/18 - will codify the Appropriations Act]
