White represents neutrality, balance, and my commitment to creating a space where everyone feels heard. It reminds me of the role I step into—not to take sides, but to help families navigate difficult conversations and work toward resolution.

Mediation is about finding a path forward, making informed decisions, and creating agreements that help families move ahead with clarity and respect.

🤍 Neutrality. Compassion. Resolution.

What Is a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) in Family Court?

In some divorce and paternity cases, the court may appoint a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) when additional information is needed to determine what is in a child's best interests.

A Guardian Ad Litem is a neutral professional appointed to investigate the facts of the case. This process often includes interviews with both parents, the child (when appropriate), family members, teachers, medical or mental health providers, and other individuals involved in the child's life. The GAL may also review records, observe parent-child interactions, and make recommendations to the court regarding parental responsibility, time-sharing, and other issues affecting the child.

Before requesting a Guardian Ad Litem, it's important to understand what that means.

A GAL investigation is not a quick fix or a strategy to gain an advantage over the other parent. It is an extensive, highly involved process that requires significant time, cooperation, and financial investment from everyone involved. The investigation can be intrusive, as many aspects of a family's life may be examined to provide the court with a complete and objective picture.

A Guardian Ad Litem should only be requested when there are legitimate concerns that require an independent investigation. Attempting to use the process as a litigation tactic can increase conflict, delay resolution, and add substantial expense without benefiting the child.

At Serenity Family Solutions, our role is to provide objective, child-focused evaluations that assist the court in making informed decisions. Our priority is—and always will be—the best interests of the child.

Have questions about whether a Guardian Ad Litem may be appropriate in your case? We're happy to discuss the process and what to expect.
