SB2711 mandates a study on the costs and effects of guardian ad litem services in Illinois family law proceedings.
SB2711 requires the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts to conduct a comprehensive study on the use, cost, and accessibility of guardian ad litem services in family law proceedings. The study aims to evaluate the impact of these services on litigants, particularly low-income families, and assess whether current practices promote fairness, access to justice, and the best interests of children. The study will also analyze the structure, funding, and regulation of other states' guardian ad litem programs, focusing on cost allocation models that reduce burdens on low-income parties.
