My understanding is that a guardian ad litem makes recommendations to the court and that the court can overrule the ad litem. So I would recommend them going back to court and requesting routine drug tests as well as requesting that they not have overnight visits until the parents have a clear test

It is quite odd that you have been appointed the legal guardian and the court has appointed another person as the guardian ad litem… which by the way is the person who represents the interest of the child for legal proceedings only.
Once again… I’m trying to recall if I have ever run across this..! The legal guardian is the guardian ad litem as a matter of law. In other words, your request to be appointed as guardian ad litem should granted… if not, then there is a very real conflict of interest here. How can you perform your legal charged duties of protecting this child, making decisions regarding education, health, emotional well-being if you cannot present these matters to the court.
You need to immediately file a motion with the court to have this person removed and you appointed as the guardian ad litem.
If you can afford it… contact a comptent attorney in your area.

A guardian ad litem is appointed by the court to represent the interests of the child, and the child alone. This is always someone different than the child’s guardian and is not done in all custody cases. The child’s guardian cares for the child day in and day out. . .providing food, shelter, etc. The guardian ad litem represents the child’s interests in court. They are two completely different things. Not all cases will require the appointment of a guardian ad litem; in those cases, the interests of the child would be represented by the child’s legal guardian. In your case, it seems that the guardian ad litem may not be doing the best thing for the child. I am assuming that the overnight visitation is unsupervised. I would try to get back in court to get this situation worked out and request that the judge order mandatory drug testing. The judge certainly has the authority to do so.

In such cases some courts make it a condition of visitation that the parents visiting their children not be under the influence of anything. You can file an order to show cause with the court to test the parents before their visitation to see if they are under the influence and their visitation may be suspended by the court. Or you can write to the presiding judge and let him/her know what the situation is and tell them that it not financially possible for you to take the necessary steps with which to stop what is going on.
