Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

What is a GAL's responsibility when she knows a father is lying about a medical condition of his child in an attempt to prove wrong doing by the mother? And what is her responsibility when same husband has been reported to CPS for questionable "discipline"? He is seeking full custody and has manipulated the same GAL into pushing the line. Can the GAL be held liable in any way?
