Guardians ad Litem (GAL) focus on representing the best interests of the child, while Attorneys ad Litem represent the childs legal interests. In Texas, the GAL may work in conjunction with the attorney ad litem, but their roles differ in scope.
Differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information, be honest about the childs welfare, furnish necessary documents/records, demonstrate respect and cooperation. Prepare for home visits by creating a safe environment. Engage in constructive conversations focused on the childs best interests.
Essentially, they serve as the courts eyes and ears, providing an unbiased and comprehensive overview of the childs situation, yet their role has the following limitations: No final decisions: While they provide crucial insights, the ultimate decision-making power lies with the court, not the Guardian Ad Litem.
Your attorney, or you, if you are acting as your attorney, may ask the judge who is hearing your case to appoint a Guardian Ad Litem. After looking at the issues involved in a case, a judge may appoint a Guardian Ad Litem to investigate the childs current situation.
A GAL is an independent professional who investigates and evaluates cases involving child custody and visitation. The cost of a GAL can vary widely, from a few thousand dollars for a straightforward case to more than $20,000 for a more complicated matter.

In order to have a GAL appointed, you need to file a motion with the court requesting the appointment of one. This can be done by yourself; however, I recommend you find an experienced attorney to assist you in this filing. One thing you should understand - GALs are attorneys, and will bill at an hourly attorney rate.
