Lackawanna County Family Court has decided it will not pay guardian ad litem Danielle Ross her $38,000 annual retainer to represent children in custody disputes, Judge Trish Corbett said Monday.
Court officials are reviewing Ms. Ross' contract in light of a 113-page report of the county's guardian ad litem program by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts released this month, Judge Corbett said.
