No. You can not appoint an Guardian ad liem without the other party knowing about it. This process can be executed two ways. One is by filing a motion in the family court in your area and it will be heard by a judge. Child Welfare can file this complaint if they deem it to be necessary after an investigation. The other manner would be to request opposing counsel (or the party, if pro se') to agree to adding a guardian ad liem, at which point a consent order would be drawn up, signed by both parties and entered to be signed by a Judge assigned to the case. Certainly when there are children involved, it is in the best interest of all parties to communicate their concerns directly or through counsel, as not to further inflame an already difficult situation. By attempting to utilize manipulative deceptions can and will only further break down trust and the ability to successfully co-parent, which will ultimately victimize the children.

What are grounds for dismissing a public defender and how do you go about doing it?

A defendant is not obligated to take the services of the public defender. If a defendant wishes to hire private counsel, he has that right, or if he wishes to defend himself, he has that right. If the defendant wishes to defend himself, the judge will inquire as to if the decision is knowing and voluntary, and if so, will allow the defendant to do so. It is a very important decision, and not one to be made lightly.

How can defense lawyer win a case?

A defense lawyer wins by using the advantage that the State or the plaintiff suing the defendant has the burden of proving the the defendant is guilty or liable. The state in a criminal matter must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. A plaintiff in a civil matter must prove its case by a preponderance of the evidence or in some special cases by clear and convincing evidence. Quite simply, if the jury thinks both sides tied, for want of a better word, in their proofs, the defense wins. Defense lawyers plant seeds of doubt in the minds of jurors sometimes just enough so the jury just is not sure that finding for the state or plaintiff is correct. ==Additional Answer== In many cases the skill of the defense attorney is a significant factor when the defendant "wins". Three defense lawyers will approach a criminal case in three different ways. Some are abundantly more skilled in their understanding of the law, studying the evidence, utilizing expert witnesses, eloquence, projecting confidence, connecting with the jury, impeaching state witnesses who are often biased and "knowing" the court in which the trial is held. A good defense lawyer is also very skilled in recognizing when a defendant's rights have been violated and when exculpatory evidence has been withheld. It is like any other profession. The ones with the best skills often win.


Can a person talk telepathically with their guardian angel?

The ability to communicate telepathically has never been proven. The existence of guardian angels has never been proven, in fact if they do exist they would be evidence that God is not all-powerful and all-knowing. Therefore, there are two good reasons why a person can not talk telepathically with a guardian angel. The "guardian angel" concept is basically a Catholic schools concept to encourage the idea of several different meritorious behaviors in the student.

Does a creditor have to take you to court before they garnish your wages or can they get a judgment against you without you knowing it?

A creditor must take a consumer to court in order to begin the legal process to garnish wages. The exact procedure for this process depends upon state laws. Most statutes require the plaintiff in a court case to make a reasonable effort to contact the defendant. This can entail sending a written notice to a last known address. Thus, it is possible to have a default judgment granted against you without your knowledge.


How can you use the word 'penalize' in a sentence?

"Please don't penalize me for not knowing the rules." Which means: "Please don't [impose a penalty upon] me for not knowing the rules." The seriousness of the results of a crime often determines the severity of the punishment when the judge is deciding just how to most effectively penalize the defendant in the American criminal court system.


What happens to the vandalising teens parents?

The parents are held responsible for the crime. They will have to pay fines and compensatory damages. The legal guardian is expected to know where the minor is and what activities the minor is participating in at all times. It's ridiculous but it's true. I do know that legal guardian responsibilities law vary from state to state. Your more specific answer would require knowing that. :-)
