17 A Let me explain.
18 Q Let me finish my question.

1 County?
2 A I did.
3 Q And what was the purpose of that

5 A To have dinner.
6 Q Okay. Now, in sometime around
7 November or December of 2015, did you agree
8 or talk about representing with Ms. Akl the
9 minor child, ?
10 A Yes. She asked me to if I would
11 consider being her GAL. Yes.
12 Q Not her attorney?
13 A No.
14 Q Okay. Now, when you became her
15 GAL in March of 2016, do you recall an
16 e-mail where I specifically asked you about
17 your representation with prior to your
18 appointment. Do you recall that, sir?
19 A I believe I became the GAL in
20 January, if I'm not mistaken.
21 Q Yes, sir. And this would be
22 March.
23 A Could you ask the question again?
24 What about March?
25 Q In March an e-mail was sent to
Freedom Court Reporting, Inc 877-373-3660
Henderson Testimony 13
1 A Yes, we did.

5 A I have represented juveniles in
6 both delinquency and dependency hearings in
7 juvenile court, yes.
8 Q As an attorney rather than a
9 guardian ad litem?
10 A Yes.
11 Q Are you aware that in the state
12 of Alabama currently there is a
13 certification that guardian ad litems have
14 to go through in order to represent in the
15 juvenile court?
16 A Yes, I am.
17 Q Are you aware of any such
18 certification required to be a guardian ad
19 litem in the domestic relations court?
20 A There is none.
21 Q During your three months as
22 guardian ad litem, what investigation did
23 you perform?
24 A Well, I began my investigation by
25 sending a questionnaire out to both parties.

1 It's about a 25 --
2 MS. MEIGS: Your Honor, I'm going
3 to object to this line of questioning
4 because you were asking what was the
5 relevance of it so I moved on, that he had
6 been removed.
7 THE COURT: I was trying to
8 determine the relevance of the entire line
9 of questioning since he had been removed as
10 GAL and since we had had an earlier hearing.
11 So at this point I have allowed the
12 questioning so I'll overrule your objection.
13 You may answer.
14 THE WITNESS: Thank you.
15 A Yes. When I began my initial
16 investigation as a guardian ad litem I sent
17 questionnaires to both parties. It's a
18 pretty detailed questionnaire. I have a
19 copy of it with me. It asks general
20 questions about lifestyle, education,
21 activities with the child, health, what each
22 parent thought about the other parent, were
23 they both involved in 's activities,
24 whether at school or extracurricular. It
25 was about as detailed as I could get. And I
