A quick definition of divorce proctor:

A divorce proctor is someone who is chosen to make sure that the state or children involved in a divorce are taken care of and their best interests are protected. They are sometimes called a proctor for short.

A more thorough explanation:

DIVORCE PROCTOR

A divorce proctor is a person who is appointed to protect the interests of the state or children in a divorce case. They may be a guardian or another type of legal representative. The term "proctor" is sometimes used as a shorthand for this role.

When a couple gets divorced, a divorce proctor may be appointed to ensure that any children involved are properly cared for and that their needs are taken into account during the divorce proceedings. The proctor may also be responsible for representing the state's interests in the case.

For example, if one spouse is seeking custody of the children but has a history of neglect or abuse, the divorce proctor may argue that it is not in the children's best interests to be placed in that parent's care. Alternatively, if both parents are seeking custody and cannot agree on a custody arrangement, the proctor may work to find a solution that is in the children's best interests.

Another example might be if one spouse is attempting to hide assets or income during the divorce proceedings. The divorce proctor may investigate the situation and work to ensure that all assets and income are properly disclosed and divided according to the law.

A divorce proctor is a legal representative who is appointed to protect the interests of the state or children in a divorce case. They may be responsible for representing the state's interests, ensuring that children are properly cared for, and investigating any issues that arise during the divorce proceedings. The examples illustrate how a divorce proctor might work to protect the interests of children or the state in different situations that can arise during a divorce case.
