In family law cases, one kind of guardianship is especially important: The guardian ad litem. The court appoints a guardian ad litem to represent the best interests of minor children in disputes such as child custody, divorce, or the termination of parental rights.
courts may appoint guardians ad litem without the wards consent. In some jurisdictions, they may also be appointed to represent the interests of someone who is allegedly incapacitated. Courts most frequently appoint guardians ad litem in parents disputes over child custody of their children.
All GALs must have training on issues that affect a childs welfare. The GAL must meet standards set by law. GALs are mandated reporters. This means a GAL must report a family to law enforcement or to Child Protective Services (CPS) when the GAL has reason to believe a child has been abused or neglected.
When communicating with a GAL, its necessary to stay focused on providing pertinent information concerning the childs best interests. Avoid discussing irrelevant topics, asking for personal information of the GAL for the Child, bringing up information unrelated to the issue, and engaging in biased conversations.
