Summary (Justice Demanded)
The court documents titled “ORDER RE ALLOCATION OF GAL FEES” reveal potential bias and unfairness against Aaron Surina, the respondent and father. The Superior Court of Washington, County of Spokane, ordered that a Guardian ad Litem be appointed in the case, with both parties required to contribute to their fees. Despite the lack of clarity on whether the mother and father are indigent, the court has decided to allocate a higher percentage of the Guardian ad Litem’s fees to the father, with him obligated to cover 81% of the costs, while the mother is only responsible for 14%. This decision seems to disproportionately burden the father financially, and there is no indication in the document that this allocation is based on either party’s ability to pay. Moreover, the court document suggests that there are credible allegations of child abuse and/or neglect, without specifying the party responsible. This ambiguity could unfairly stigmatize the father. This document may reflect judicial bias and a lack of fairness, potentially leading to an unjust outcome for Aaron Surina.
