Boyd Collar Nolen Tuggle & Roddenbery Divorce and Family Law

One of the biggest priorities for parents is to create a parenting plan that is in the best interest of the children. Given their heavy caseloads, many judges rely on the investigation and recommendation of an objective third party, called a guardian ad litem, in making determinations on #custody. We have extensive experience working with guardians ad litem in contested custody situations and in shepherding parents through the investigation process to ensure a guardian is provided a complete picture of the family’s needs.
