When should this form be used?

paternity of a minor child(ren) to request that the judge appoint a guardian ad litem to represent
the best interests of the minor child(ren). You should use this form if you feel that your child(ren)
needs someone other than you to ensure that both the judicial system and the other party(ies)
act(s) in the best interests of the child(ren). A guardian ad litem may be a volunteer who has been
trained and certified by the State of Florida Guardian ad Litem Program or an attorney who is a
member in good standing with The Florida Bar.

original with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where your case is filed and keep a copy for
your records.
What should I do next?
A copy of this form must be mailed or hand delivered to the other party in your case.
It is possible that there will be a hearing on your motion. The judge may want to hear the reasons
you feel an appointment of a guardian ad litem is necessary, or, the other party may object to your
motion. If a hearing is required, check with the clerk of court, family law court staff, or judicial
assistant for information on the local procedure for scheduling a hearing. When you know the date
and time of your hearing, you should file Notice of Hearing (General), Florida Supreme Court
Approved Family Law Form 12.923, or other appropriate notice of hearing form, and provide a copy
to the other party.
Where can I look for more information?
Before proceeding, you should read “General Information for Self-Represented Litigants” found at
the beginning of these forms. You may also want to contact the Guardian ad Litem Program office
in your area or see sections 61.401B405, Florida Statutes.
