"It is well established that an appellate court will not consider an argument raised for the first time on appeal; its review is limited to evidence and arguments considered by the trial court." Stephens v. Stephens, 699 So.2d 194, 196
(Ala.Civ.App. 1997). The record does not reveal that the wife asserted in the trial court, either before the entry of its final judgment or in a postjudgment motion, that theFourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution mandated a hearing before a guardian ad litem could be appointed for her. Accordingly, I must dissent from reversing the trial court's judgment based upon that issue.
