Abstract

The right of a parent to raise his child is fundamental, and courts are reluctant to impede on that right when determining the best interests of a child. In In re Conservatorship of Minor Children, the Montana Supreme Court was faced with deciding whether to appoint a guardian ad litem on behalf of three children for the purpose of potentially pursuing litigation against their father.
