A child’s voice can get lost when parents fight over custody. The Court may appoint a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) to speak for the child in divorce, paternity, guardianship, and grandparent visitation cases.
The job of a GAL is to conduct an investigation and determine what is in the child’s best interests. The GAL then issues a report that outlines the facts and makes recommendations.
