Larry argued in his motion for appointment of a guardian ad litem that there may be substantial pressure on Carrie because he expects Christine to adamantly oppose resumption of visitation due to the kidnapping. If the court had been correct in concluding that Larry had not made out a prima facie case for resumption of visitation, then there was no need to appoint an advocate for the child's interests. Christine's only argument against appointment of a guardian ad litem is that it is unnecessary because Larry has failed to state what purpose a guardian would serve. This disposes of Christine's claim that the issue of supervised visitation is not properly before this court. Larry sought to reinstate visitation under whatever conditions the superior court deemed proper.
Supervision is simply a condition of visitation.
Christine makes a number of other assertions which have no basis in the record or in law. Given the fact that he had judgments against him for well over one million dollars, and there is no evidence that he had any assets with which to pay these judgments, he had little choice but to declare bankruptcy. Furthermore, Christine does not deny that Larry has been paying incremental child support arrearages. Christine is simply wrong where she states that Larry failed to acknowledge any wrongdoing in kidnapping Carrie. Larry specifically acknowledged his wrongdoing in his affidavit filed with his motion for visitation.
