Working With Minor's Counsel: Successful Strategies and Avoidable Pitfalls

Minor’s Counsel has been appointed in your family law case.  Now what?  As the attorney for one of the parents or guardians, what should you expect once minor’s counsel has been appointed?  What are the next steps?  Can you limit or expand the role of minor’s counsel?  What information should be made available to minor’s counsel?  What is the court’s expectation when it comes to the work of minor’s counsel?  Should your client meet with minor’s counsel without you?  Do minor’s counsel make recommendations to the court?  Do minor’s counsel take sides?  If you’re not satisfied with minor’s counsel, what are your options?  Who pays for minor’s counsel?  What is an appropriate approach to take when communicating with minor’s counsel?

Presented by: 

Judge Shauna Chastain, C.F.L.S., Solano County Superior Court
