Legal Question in Family Law in New York

New Trial, New Law Guardian?

During our Supreme Court divorce proceedings my daughter was represented by a court-apointed law guardian. I was told she would always be my daughter's law guardian. Now we are back in family court over another matter, and the court assigned a new law guardian to her, and did not get back to my lawyer when she sent them notice of her previous law guardian's info. We go to court too soon to get this taken care of at this poin for the court date, but I wanted to know if this is legal?

A guardian ad litem for the children has to be appointed in each court. It would make sense that the same attorney handle both matters but the each court has authority to assign its own.
