No. An ARC attorney is appointed by the Court to represent the child in usually what is a difficult custody case. As such, the ARC attorney is the child's attorney, and must act as the child directs. This is a difficult job, and one that often puts the ARC attorney at odds with one of the parents.

You really should consult with an Attorney. I do not know the circumstances in your situation and am wondering why the ARC is not representing your son's beliefs. Perhaps, a GAL would be better suited for the situation as they are often utilized in theses types of situations.

Keep in mind that the ARC doesn't represent you son's beliefs, she represents his interests. Sometimes those may align, sometimes they might not.
