SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Appointment of guardians ad litem for children. Provides that the circuit court is authorized to appoint a discreet, qualified and competent attorney at law as guardian ad litem to represent the interests of a child in any case involving custody, guardianship, visitation or support of the child which is pending in the circuit court or in any case appealed from the juvenile and domestic relations district court and that compensation for such guardians ad litem is in accordance with the juvenile code provisions.
