¶1Appellant began an action for separate maintenance and support through her court-appointed guardian ad litem. Respondent answered and counterclaimed for divorce.
¶2Subsequently, appellant requested the family court to relieve both her attorney and the guardian ad litem from service in the case. After a hearing, the request was granted.
¶3With the assistance of a different attorney, appellant entered into a property agreement with respondent. The agreement was subsequently incorporated into the final divorce decree.
¶4Appellant with the aid of a new attorney brought the present action to have the divorce decree set aside on the ground that she did not have a guardian ad litem at the final hearing. The family court denied her petition.
¶5The order on appeal does not set forth the salient facts upon which the family court determined that appellant was mentally competent at the time her guardian ad litem was relieved. The order is in violation of Family Court Rule 27(3).
¶6Accordingly, we remand to the family court for compliance with Rule 27. Stahl v. Stahl, 276 S. C. 380, 278 S. E. (2d) 782 (1981).
¶7Remanded.
