What is a Guardian ad litem in child custody case?

Post by Christopher Migliaccio

A guardian ad litem in Texas is appointed by a judge in some family law cases to act as an advocate for children to suggest what he or she believes is in the best interest of the child in question. Texas child custody laws and child support case law usually involve a guardian ad litem because of the high stress and confusion that a child may experience during this type of litigation.

A guardian ad litem inTexasusually holds a degree in psychology and has lots of experience dealing withTexaschild custody laws and child support case law.

What Will a Guardian Ad Litem Do During the Case?

A guardian ad litem typically will:

  • meet with and interview the family and children;
  • interview teachers and caregivers involved with the children;
  • request a study or investigation of the child’s home life;
  • talk with doctors or therapists who have treated the child;
  • suggest a professional psychological evaluation for each member of the family;
  • file the motions dealing with custody or child support;
  • facilitate meetings between the judge and children;
  • attend trials and court hearings; and
  • make formal recommendations to the court concerning custody

Texas child custody laws and child support case law issues often involve the use of a guardian ad litem, so you should not be concerned if the judge in your case appoints one to your family. This is usually done for the well-being of the child, and a guardian ad litem in Texas can help your child deal with this legal situation using proven techniques and methods. Make sure if you are uncomfortable with any actions the guardian ad litem is taking or you do not understand something, ask questions and enlist the help of a family law attorney.
