What Is a Guardian ad Litem?
A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is a court‑appointed, neutral representative whose job is to investigate and advocate for the best interests of a person who cannot fully represent themselves in a legal proceeding. GALs often represent minor children (children under the age of eighteen) or incapacitated adults. The GAL's role is to advocate for and protect the interests of a child or other individual the court has designated the GAL to represent. In certain court proceedings, a Guardian ad Litem is required.
