In Florida, a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) is a court-appointed advocate dedicated to representing the best interests of a child in legal proceedings. These cases often involve divorce, custody disputes, or allegations of abuse or neglect. The GAL’s primary responsibility is to provide an independent, objective assessment of the child’s needs and well-being, helping the court make informed decisions that prioritize the child’s safety and stability. ​Guardians ad Litem conduct thorough investigations by interviewing parents, teachers, caregivers, and other relevant individuals, reviewing records, and attending court hearings. Their role ensures the child’s voice is heard in the legal process while focusing on their overall welfare and future. ​​At CWR Law, we recognize the critical importance of a Guardian ad Litem in family law cases.
