(v) Reasonable compensation for services and costs of
counsel appointed by the court;
(vi) Reasonable compensation for services and costs
of a guardian ad litem appointed by the court, unless the county
participates in the guardian ad litem program administered by

(vii) Any other costs of the proceedings which would

(c) In every case in which a guardian ad litem has been
appointed to represent the child under this act or in which
counsel has been appointed under this act to represent the
child's parents, guardian or custodian, the court shall
determine whether the child's parents, guardian, custodian or

any of the parties is able to pay any amount as reimbursement

not ordered. The court may also in any case order that all or
any part of the costs and expenses enumerated in paragraphs

the county by the child's parents or any person legally
obligated for his support, or any of them jointly and severally,
upon terms the court may direct. An order for reimbursement of
costs made pursuant to this subsection may be enforced as
provided in W.S. 14-3-435. Any reimbursement ordered for
guardian ad litem services provided pursuant to W.S. 14-12-101
through 14-12-104 shall be apportioned between the county and
the guardian ad litem program in accordance with payments made
for those services.
