A guardian ad litem (GAL) is a person appointed by a court to look after and protect the interests of someone who is unable to take care of themselves, typically a minor or someone who is determined to be legally incompetent.
Child Interview: GAL asks light, non-threatening questions to put the child at ease (school, friends, interests). Focus on observing the childs comfort and family dynamics. GAL will not directly ask the child who they want to live with.
To become a legal guardian, the main requirement is that the petitioner be at least 18 years of age and capable of providing a nurturing and stable home environment. Additionally, the court may consider other factors, such as: Does the petitioner have a history of abuse?
A guardian ad litem (GAL) is an adult appointed by the court to represent the best interests of an individual during legal proceedings, including children.
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.

Its important to note that a Guardian ad Litem is not the childs lawyer. Their role is to act as a neutral investigator and advocate for the childs best interests, rather than representing the childs specific wishes in court.
Stay calm, cool, collected, and make sure that you are projecting the kind of image that youd want the judge to see. Probably -- like Caitlin -- the Guardian ad litem is trying to rattle you, at least a little bit. It gives her some insight to your character, and the ability to (maybe!) see you at your worst.
