The Court may appoint a lawyer to act as the Guardian ad litem (GAL) or the child's attorney. As âAttorney for the Minor Child,â it is the lawyer's job to represent to the Court the child's wishes. A GAL represents to the Court what is in the child's best interest. The younger the child, the more likely it is that the lawyer will be appointed as GAL.
