Attorney Terry Hammond, who's also executive director of the National Guardianship Association, has been nominated to serve as a financial guardian for Nadya Suleman's eight babies.
"Hammond has not been appointed to that role by the judge in the case."
Monday, the judge appointed a separate independent counsel to look into the children's financial interests before deciding whether to appoint a permanent guardian something Suleman's attorneys said is not needed.

If Hammond wants his piece of the pie, he'll have it.
He can either be the guardian or the guardian's lawyer - or both, and still make a mint!
I personally called the El Paso Fox channel three times over a timespan of several hours to correct the first article which they eventually did. Hammond is still the fiduciary guardian proposed by Petersen/Allred, that does not mean the judge will choose him should the GAL (Bunt) submit to the court that a permanent guardian should be appointed.
A couple of things you might be interested in
1) Hammond was only licensed in CA as a fiduciary guardian on July 16. He is not a member of the CA State Bar. One might think the judge would take into consideration that this appears to be a case of carpetbagging. Although Hammond flits around, his licensing states the following:
Licensee Name: HAMMOND TERRY W
License Type: PROFESSIONAL FIDUCIARY
License Number: 351
License Status: ACTIVE Definition
Expiration Date: May 31, 2011
Issue Date: July 16, 2009
County: LOS ANGELES
Actions: No
2) In an interview with Raul Roa, he said that the reason the address on the NGA site for him is in Santa Monica is that in January he chose to move to CA for "personal reasons". Funny thing is, his law practice website does not say he has set up any sort of practice in CA.
3) At last years NGA convention, as the Executive Director, he submitted a rather odd article to the NGA's newsletter. It concerned Hollywood and movies about guardians. He gave his phone number to contact him and offered NGA's services as a consultant for any movies which may have guardians in them

Thank you Anon 2 for more newswothy information that one won't find...in the news. Your information puts the reporters to shame. I am not surprised, it's always advantageous to keep us, the little people in the dark. NASGA is the shining light on the dark side. Thank you.
Gloria Allred...that says it all.
Thank you, Anonymous 2!
See, there's always someone out there willing to find important information (even information will hidden) and pass it along for the good of public knowledge. I truly appreciate your effort.
I didn't know those things about Terry Hammond and I'm glad to know them now.
Thank you again.
Did you read the info provided by Anonymous 2, Gloria Allred and Paul Peterson?
"Did you read the info provided by Anonymous 2, Gloria Allred and Paul Petersen?"
That would be me, Anon 2.
Things are spicing up as Allred's client posts his first report on his website referring to last week's court hearing at which a Guardian Ad Litem was appointed to look into the finances of the octuplets (NOT the older six children, just the infants)
I wonder if Allred regularly has clients who use the gossip site TMZ to bolster their case?
http://www DOT minorcon.org/round_one.html
"TMZ, it is alleged, has thrown some money her way as well, and reported that her personal website has generated some $2.5 million dollars in donations."
Pray tell, where did TMZ get that info from? The person seeking standing to have a guardian appointed to a complete stranger's children siting TMZ as a source. Un-FREAKING believable.
And please don't try saying that TMZ gets it right in so many cases. That isn't the point, TMZ also gets it WRONG in many cases and is certainly not used by most legitimate organizations as a source of information! Talk about bottom feeders.
News for you which you may not be aware of in the Nadya Suleman case.
Last week it was reported by the AP that Petersen/Allred's case which was successful in the OC county superior court appointing a guardian ad litem had been overturned. Reuters and others jumped on the bandwagon to say it was only a temporary stay because her case to be heard on the 20th to dismiss the case altogether had not occurred yet.
Well, turns out neither got it totally right. The appeals court ruled that Suleman's Constitutional rights had been violated. AND, here's the most interesting part: On the 27th Petersen admitted he didn't have the evidence needed to have the court appoint a fiduciary guardian at the time, which is the reason why they changed their request to have a GAL appointed to do the work they THOUGHT needed to be done. What were their thoughts based on? INTERNET ARTICLES. Yes, you read correctly.
Paul Petersen with Gloria Allred in tow filed a petition to have a guardian appointed over the octuplets solely due to the "evidence" they had garnered off the internet. They didn't even take the time to obtain the authenticated contracts or "evidence". Apparently they went in there (as the appeals judge wrote) thinking they needed to be listened to because they had "evidence" and the court just better listen to them
Here is an article in layman's terms

Here is the actual appeals court ruling:

Hows that for an appeals court ruling concerning a prominent case being handled by "the most famous female attorney in the country"? (per her own bio on her own website)
Yes folks, our Constitution applies even to those who the gossip outlets, the internet, and even Gloria Allred and Paul Petersen have attempted to lynch.
Glory be to our Constitution.
