of whether the court still wants you involved to ensure the settlement is performed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I was appointed litigation GAL for 2 minors. The case settled at mediation while both were minors and I have set the hearing for later this month but one of the minors is now 18 so I only prepared for the
one who is still a minor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
