Discretionary appointment of guardian ad litem for child

Pursuant to Mich. Comp. Laws § 722.1443(8), "If the case is a title IV-D case, ... [t]he court may appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the child's interests with respect to the action or motion."  Unfortunately, the definitions section of the Revocation of Paternity Act does not provide define "guardian ad litem," so it is not clear whether the GAL must be an attorney. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 722.1433.
