Court-Appointed Legal Representation of Children in Texas Family Law Cases, A Practical Guide for Attorneys, completely covers the Texas standards for court-appointed representation. It includes a full discussion of the case and legislative history leading up to passage of the 2003 legislation that overhauled the Texas Family Code Chapter 107, as well as comparison with national standards adopted by the American Bar Association, the National Association of Counsel for Children, and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
In this work, Judge Lehrmann also provides step-by-step guidance for each type of court appointment, whether as amicus, attorney ad litem, or in a dual role.
Among its many features, this important work provides:
• In-depth understanding of Chapter 107 amendments concerning court appointments, including detailed legislative history and case annotations
• Step-by-step guidance when appointed in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship
• An understanding of legislatively imposed duties in Texas and national standards that affect this area of law, including those of the ABA, AAML, and NACC
• Suggestions for effectively interviewing and understanding children
• Alternative methods for bringing children into litigation, in non-adversarial ways
• Examination of the child's role in the litigation process, including the child's need to be heard and protected
