If a party to a divorce action is severely disabled or incapacitated such that he or she cannot make decisions in his or her own best interests, it is possible the court will appoint a GAL to represent that partys best interests. Again, this is different than serving as the attorney for a party.
The guardian ad litem looks for anything that could affect the childs well-being and the parent-child relationship, such as: The stability of each parents home. How well parents can cooperate or their ability to learn to cooperate.

If youre facing a custody case with a GAL in Mercer, Lawrence, Beaver, Butler, or Crawford County, you need legal representation that knows how to challenge a GALs findings when necessary.
Under California law, anyone over the age of eighteen years can be nominated and approved by the court as a guardian ad litem. Usually it is either the mother or father of the injured child; in some cases, it is another close family member or friend.
