First of all, a Guardian Ad Litem is a court-appointed attorney who is supposed to be a neutral and unbiased third party. They are not your personal attorney, but rather a third-party that the Court appoints to make sure that the child’s best interest is represented. They will interact with both parents and the children, and they will ultimately give the Court a recommendation for custody placement. The Court will hold this recommendation in high regard, so the Guardian Ad Litem can play a crucial role in the Court’s decision. It’s for this reason that you should always maintain a polite demeanor with the Guardian Ad Litem no matter what your personal satisfaction of them is. Remember, their recommendation is going to be what they specifically perceive as the child’s best interest, not necessarily what the child wants.
