Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Guardian Ad Litem
I'd like to know more about Guardian Ad Litem - why is one appointed - in this case my husband filed a motion for having GAL, since he wants to fight for custody. How much GAL could influence the final result of the case?
Thank you!

A GAL is appointed by the court to represent the best interests of the children, and to recommend what would be in their best interest after interviewing parents, grandparents, doctors, teachers, friends, etc. In short, whoever would have relevant information. The GAL's report might make the difference.
