What comes first? the gaurdian ad litem interview, or the court hearing date?

Question

Does the Gaurdian meet with the child before a court hearing is set? OR does the att set the court date and tells the Gaurdian when the interview/home visit needs to be completed by?

Answer 1

Typically, they meet with the child first, then report their findings to the attorney, who makes arrangements for a hearing.  But if there's some set schedule, the guardian will have to get there before the hearing.
