A GAL, or Guardian Ad Litem, is an attorney assigned to represent the interests of a party who cannot represent themselves. In family law, a GAL is often assigned to represent a minor child or special needs individual. They are assigned by the judge in the given case and can serve a very important role. Typically, they will gather information from the other parties involved in the case in order to make certain recommendations to the judge, which can hold significant weight in a case. It is important to work with the GAL if one is assigned to your case to ensure they recommendations and opinions are fully informed.
