The judge confirmed the party’s current name and asked whether she had requested an attorney. After the court placed the participant under oath, the judge said, “I'm going to appoint Miss Mickey Furlong Smith to represent the children as guardian ad litem. And I'm going to appoint Miss Lynn Coffinberry to represent you as your attorney.” The court also noted background noise on the Zoom connection and muted the participant for clarity.
The judge said the appointed attorney “will be in touch with you” and directed counsel to prepare any necessary orders. The appointment gives the guardian ad litem authority to represent the children’s interests in pending proceedings; the court did not at this hearing enter a final adjudication on the underlying custody or termination issues.
