Who Can Be a Guardian Ad Litem? California law requires that a GAL be a neutral third party. This means that parties in the case, like mothers, fathers, or grandparents, cannot act as guardian ad litem. Guardians ad litem must be 18 years of age or older and submit an application for the court to review.
A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is a trained volunteer who is appointed by the court to advocate for the best interests of an abused or neglected child. In court, the GAL serves as an important voice for the child.
The guardian ad litem shall participate actively and fully in all court proceedings. The guardian ad litem shall present evidence, file pleadings, and call witnesses when appropriate to ensure all information relevant to the childs best interests is presented to the court for consideration.
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.
