ANNE STEVENSON, INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST, DEMANDS ACCESS TO INFO ON GAL FEES!


(CLICK ON THE STORY BELOW TO LINK TO THE ENTIRE ARTICLE!)

CONNECTICUT, April 8, 2014 — Massachusetts attorney Maureen Martowska was reviewing charges related to her son Matthew Martowska’s custody case when she noticed something irregular. She realized that the Connecticut State Comptroller had paid guardian ad litem Barry Armata’s $988.12 for his work on the case. However, the family had been following court orders to pay Armata thousands of dollars out of their own pockets.
While Martowska does not rule out the possibility that Armata’s bill may have been a clerical error, she said the mistake raises serious questions about how GAL’s in the State of Connecticut are paid.
Last week, the Judiciary Committee approved RB-494, which if passed by the State Legislature would set limits on the way the State’s out of control guardian ad litem system does business.
