Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I know the court usually chooses the guardian et litem for children. Am I able as one of the parents allowed to get one for my children? I am willing to pay for their services so my children are allowed to tell their opinions to someone besides the parents. They are 11 and 13. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
