Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
A GAL who was writing a custody & placement reccomondation letter to a Judge for a 6 yr old boy, included criminal allegations about the boys' 12 yr old uncle, from the previous year. I know there are several laws regarding juvenile confidentialily. Did this GAL break any of those laws, or do certain rules not apply to GALs?

A GAL is charged with disclosing such things to the court. It is not a violation. The GAL or any party may seek to have that part of the file sealed.
