Trial court’s designation of guardian ad litem’s attorney fees as child support was improper; state child support law that failed to expressly provide for inclusion of attorney’s fees in a child support award was not preempted by federal law that allowed for such a designation, and by state statute’s failure to include guardian ad litem fees as one of the enumerated expenses for child support, the omission of such fees constituted a statement that the legislature did not intend for legal fees to be treated as child support. Miller v. Miller, 788 A.2d 717 Md.Spec.App.,(2002).
