Sioux City Lawyer Serves as Guardian ad Litem to Represent Children in Litigation

Iowa courts appoint Maxine M. Buckmeier, P.C. to advocate for minors and others

Children are not capable of hiring someone to represent their legal interests when family disputes such as divorce affect their well-being. In these situations, courts will designate a guardian ad litem to ensure that their rights are protected. Maxine M. Buckmeier, P.C. has the experience, knowledge and compassion to deliver comprehensive representation to minors and other individuals who cannot advocate for themselves.

Maxine M. Buckmeier, P.C. performs a variety of necessary functions while serving as a guardian ad litem including:

• Representation in court. Upon appointment by the court, I advocate for children in hearings and trials. When necessary, I examine witnesses and argue motions in the same manner as other parties to the litigation.
• Evaluation of pertinent information. As guardian ad litem, I take my role seriously and review every relevant document in order to understand what is best for the child. When warranted, I also petition the court to get access to certain materials.
• Contact with key individuals. I can obtain professional medical advice when it is required. If others have knowledge that will help the court’s evaluation of the child’s welfare, I can also work to get their input.

I perform each task with the appropriate proficiency and sensitivity so that those I represent can move forward with the least possible disruption.
