  • 1.  Divorce - opposing party is mentally disabled

    Posted 03-05-2019 04:00 PM
    I have a matter where both parties are mentally disabled. I represent the wife through her guardian, but the husband has no guardian, only a DPOA. I do not expect him to respond to the complaint, so my current plan is to move for default, but what I'd like is for the court to assign a GAL. My client doesn't have access to the husband (they've been living apart for years) and his caretakers are being uncooperative, so I don't know if I could file a motion to assign a GAL. Does anyone have advice on the best way to proceed? Thank you.
