Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem in California?

What Is an Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem?

Purpose and Scope of Appointment

Under California law, as a general rule, a “minor who is a party in a lawsuit must appear ‘“by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court in which the action or proceeding is pending....” (Alex R. v. Superior Court of L.A. Cnty.(2016) 248 Cal.App.4th 1, 7-8 citing Code Civ. Proc., § 372(a); Williams v. Super. Ct. (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 36 at 46.) “In actions such as this one under the Uniform Parentage Act, Family Code § 7600 et seq., the Family Code also mandates that minor children be represented by a guardian ad litem: “If the child is a minor and a party to the action, the child shall be represented by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court.” (Fam.Code, § 7635(a).)

“The purpose of a guardian ad litem is to protect the minor's interests in the litigation” (Williams, supra, 147 Cal.App.4th at 47), and his or her role is limited in scope. “A guardian ad litem is not a party to the action, but is the party's representative and is an officer of the court.” (Id.) “The guardian ad litem ‘is like an agent with limited powers.’” (Id.) “‘[A] guardian ad litem's role is more than an attorney's but less than a party's.’” (Id.) “A guardian ad litem's role is limited to protecting the child's interests in the litigation, and the role is closely supervised by the judge.” (Id., at 50.)

Lacking Legal Competence

A person who lacks the legal capacity to make decisions must appear “either by a guardian or conservator of the estate or by a guardian ad litem appointed by the court in which the action or proceeding is pending, or by a judge thereof, in each case.” (Code Civ. Proc., § 372(a)(1).) Appointment of a guardian ad litem for a person lacking legal competence may be made upon application of a relative or friend of the person lacking legal competence, or of any other party to the action, or by the court on its own motion. (Code Civ. Proc., § 373(c).)

“Procedurally, if the petitioning minor is under 14 years old, ‘the appointment must be made before the summons is issued, upon the application of... a relative or friend of the minor.’” ((Williams, supra, 147 Cal.App.4th at 46–47 citing Code Civ. Proc., § 373(a).) “As the Code of Civil Procedure requires that a guardian ad litem be appointed before the summons may be issued, the court's refusal to appoint a guardian ad litem prevents him from obtaining a summons and commencing his parentage action.” (Id.)

No Notice Requirement

“The Code of Civil Procedure and the Family Code contain no express requirement of notice to a parent before a guardian ad litem is appointed.” (Alex R. v. Superior Court of L.A. Cnty. (2016) 248 Cal.App.4th 1, 9 citing Code Civ. Proc., §§ 372, 373 ; Fam.Code, § 7635 ; Williams, supra, 147 Cal.App.4th at p. 48, 54 [“there is no specific statutory requirement that a parent be notified if a nonparent applies to serve as the guardian ad litem”].) “It is a ‘cardinal rule of statutory construction’ (Alex. R. supra, 248 Cal.App.4th at 9 citing People v. Guzman (2005) 35 Cal.4th 577, 587) that court must not ‘insert what has been omitted’ from a statute.” (Alex. R. citing Code Civ. Proc., § 1858.)

“In fact, the guardian ad litem laws suggest that the Legislature acted with a specific intent not to require notice of a guardian ad litem application in most circumstances.” (Alex. R. supra, 248 Cal.App.4th at 9.) “The guardian ad litem statute in the Code of Civil Procedure requires parental notice in only one specific instance, not applicable here: when a minor who is living with a parent or guardian appears in court without counsel and seeking one of a set of identified restraining orders or protective orders.” (Id.) “In that instance, notice of the appointment of a guardian ad litem must be sent to at least one parent or guardian of the minor unless the court determines that notice would not be in the child's best interest.” (Id., citing Code Civ. Proc., § 372(b)(2).)

“Not only is there no requirement in the law for service of the guardian ad litem application, the statutes concerning service and notice of actions under the Uniform Parentage Act provide no mechanism for serving the additional pre-summons notice that the court here required.” (Alex. R. supra, 248 Cal.App.4th at 10.) “The Family Code requires that all parents, including presumptive parents, be notified of a parentage action in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure.” (Id., citing Fam.Code, §§ 7635(b), 7666.) “The Code of Civil Procedure requires notice of an action to be effectuated by delivering a ‘copy of the summons and of the complaint to the person to be served.’” (Id., citing Code Civ. Proc., § 415.10.)

Statutory Interpretation and Guardian Ad Litem Statute

“It is a settled principle of statutory interpretation that if a statute contains a provision regarding one subject, that provision's omission in the same or another statute regarding a related subject is evidence of a different legislative intent.” (People v. Arriaga (2014) 58 Cal.4th 950, 960, 169; see also Wasatch Property Management v. Degrate (2005) 35 Cal.4th 1111, 1118.) “Accordingly, the Legislature's express requirement of notice in one specific instance of a guardian ad litem appointment, juxtaposed with its omission of such a requirement with respect to all other guardian ad litem appointments, indicates the Legislature's intent not to require service where it did not do so expressly.” (Alex. R. supra, 248 Cal.App.4th at 9 citing Arriaga, at 960, [where certificate of probable cause was required before bringing an appeal under one subdivision of a statute but not mentioned in another, the omission indicated the Legislature's intent not to require the certificate in the latter instance].)

Parental Rights

“The appointment of a guardian ad litem for a child does not ‘affect [a parent's] parental rights. Instead, the guardian ad litem determination merely concerns a decision as to who will represent the children in retaining and working with their attorney and assist the court in protecting the children's legal interests.’” (Alex R. supra at 10 citing Williams, supra, 147 Cal.App.4th at 54.)

Instead, litigation must be conducted through a guardian, conservator of the estate or guardian ad litem. (Code Civ. Proc., § 372(a).) If a guardian or conservator has not previously been appointed for the person lacking decision-making capacity, a guardian ad litem must be appointed unless one of the limited statutory exceptions applies.
