What is a Guardian Ad Litem?

A Guardian Ad Litem (or “GAL”) is considered a guardian to the litigation, appointed by a Court for the pendency of a case. A GAL may be appointed for an adult (for example, in a probate case where the adult has capacity issues) or, more commonly, for children in superior court in custody cases. The Guardian Ad Litem is quite often an attorney who knows how to litigate a case and knows the law. The Guardian Ad Litem is not a confidential position, but instead more of an investigative role, examining deeply the facts of a case and the needs of the children.
