According to our records, you were a parent involved in a family law case in which a guardian ad litem was appointed. We welcome your response to this survey and appreciate your taking the time to answer the survey questions. We would ask please that you respond to the survey within the next fourteen days.

We want to assure you that if you respond to the survey, your survey responses will be anonymous. Your responses will be combined with responses from other people who have responded to their own survey, and all of the responses received will be summarized in a report. That report will be used in the evaluation process of guardian ad litem services.

Because we want to ensure the integrity of the survey process, only one survey may be submitted by each parent.

PLEASE NOTE: The information received from any survey will not change the outcome of any completed case. The information received from any survey will not result in any action taken against, or commendation for, a particular guardian ad litem. Completion of the survey will not serve in any way as a motion, appeal or complaint by any party challenging the outcome of a case, or as a complaint about the services of the guardian ad litem.
