Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 008 - Public Defenders, State › Sub-Agency 0001 - Guardian Ad Litem Program › Chapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 1-2 - Purpose and applicability

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) The purpose of
				the Guardians Ad Litem Program ("Program") is to contract with, supervise and
				manage attorneys providing legal representation as guardians
ad
				litem
in child protection cases under WYO. STAT. ANN. §
									§
									
										14-3-101  through
				14-3-440, children in need of
				supervision cases under WYO. STAT. ANN. §
									§
									
										14-6-401  through
				14-6-440, or termination of parental
				rights ("TPRs") actions under WYO. STAT. ANN §
									§
									
										14-2-308  through
				14-2-319  brought as a result of a
				child protection or children in need of supervision action. The Program and these
				Rules apply only to these three types of juvenile actions and proceedings and any
				appeals that arise from these proceedings. The Program does not apply to a
				juvenile delinquency proceeding except that an attorney appointed to serve only
				as a guardian
ad litem
in a case in which a child has been
				charged with the commission of a delinquent act may, subject to these Rules, be
				eligible for compensation under the Program. In such a situation, these Rules
				would then apply to that guardian
ad litem
and his or her GAL
				representation of the alleged delinquent child.
(b) The Office may issue policies, manuals,
				bulletins, or other documentation interpreting the provisions of these rules and
				regulations. All policies, manuals, bulletins and other documentation shall be
				consistent with and reflect the policies contained in these rules and
				regulations. The provisions contained in such documentation shall be interpreted
				in favor of these rules and regulations.
Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 008 - Public Defenders, State › Sub-Agency 0001 - Guardian Ad Litem Program › Chapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 1-4 - Policy

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) The following excerpts from the National
				Association of Counsel for Children's (NACC) NACC
Recommendations for
				Representation of Children in Abuse and Neglect Cases
(2001, available
				at http://www.naccchildlaw.org ) are adopted by the Office as the policy
				guidelines of the Program:
(i) Each child is
				valued as a unique human being, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, age,
				social class, physical or mental disability, gender, or sexual
				orientation.
(ii) Each child is
				vested with certain fundamental rights, including a right to physical and
				emotional health and safety. In order to achieve this, we must promote legal
				rights and remedies for children, including empowering children by ensuring that
				courts hear and consider their views in proceedings that affect their
				lives.
(iii) Every child subject to a
				child protection proceeding must be provided an independent, competent, and
				zealous attorney, trained in the law of child protection and the art of trial
				advocacy, with time and resources to handle the case.
(iv) Children's attorneys play a critical role
				in empowering children and ensuring that children's views are heard in legal
				proceedings. Outcomes in our adversarial process are directly tied to the quality
				of legal representation. Additionally, the presence of children's attorneys is
				critical to ensuring the timeliness of proceedings.
(v) Children's attorneys play a critical role
				in advocating for permanency and for the continuation of familial relationships,
				family preservation and family and community placements where appropriate. The
				attorney must advocate for timely resolution and permanent resolution (absent
				compelling reasons to the contrary) of the case. The attorney must advocate for
				food, shelter, clothing, and safety, including a safe temporary placement where
				necessary and for educational, medical, mental health, and dental needs. Where
				appropriate, the attorney should advocate for continuation of appropriate
				familial relationships, family preservation services and against out-of-home
				placements.
