Guardianship and Guardian Ad Litem - What You Need to Know

If you’re involved in a custody dispute, you may hear the term Guardian ad Litem (GAL) — but what exactly do they do, and why do courts appoint them? In this video, we break down the role, responsibilities, and influence of a GAL in child custody cases, including when they’re appointed and how they help judges make decisions that prioritize the child’s best interests. A Guardian ad Litem acts as an independent representative for the child, conducting interviews, reviewing records, observing parent-child interactions, and making recommendations to the court. Their report can have a major impact on custody and visitation outcomes, especially in cases involving high conflict, allegations of abuse or neglect, or uncooperative parenting. Whether you’re a parent preparing for a GAL investigation or simply trying to understand the process, this video covers what to expect and how to navigate this critical part of a custody case.
