Reform the State's Horribly Self Serving and Broken Guardian ad Litem System
Connecticut's Guardian ad Litem system is horribly broken. Judges are routinely raiding children's college funds, parents’ retirement accounts, and every other asset a family may own and diverting it into the hands of Guardian ad Litems who operate without a system of checks and balance and without accountability.
Many parents feel these GALs do not perform the services assigned to them by the state, or do so poorly and without impunity. GALs are also given the protection of immunity and therefore are believed not held truly accountable for any malfeasance, malfeasance, or any repercussion as a result of poor performance.
There is absolutely no oversight of any kind, and no one to complain to - as many judges were themselves formerly GALs and simply perpetuate the problem. The state court system is financially and emotionally devastating parents and families already suffering from a divorce and a poor economy. This is costing people their homes and their jobs - all under the completely false premise that any of this is "in the best interests of children."
