Description

Issue One contends "The failure of the Attorney Ad Litem to perform statutorily mandated duties violates [Penny Luckey's and Shawn Luckey's] Due Process and Equal Protection rights afforded by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article 1, Sec. 9 and 10 of the Texas Constitution." The Luckeys contend that the children's attorney ad litem provided ineffective assistance of counsel. The Luckeys argue that the attorney appointed by the trial court to represent the children should be held to the standard set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), and that counsel appointed in this case failed to satisfy her duties and obligations by meeting with the Luckeys. For the moment, we will set aside the issue of whether the performance of the children's representative affects the parents' rights to due process and equal protection, and focus upon the factual basis for the complaint raised on appeal.
