Guardian Ad Litem

Last updated on March 28, 2025

Child custody disputes are often the most contentious aspect of any divorce. It can be easy to become so focused on doing what is right for your child that the big picture can get lost. That is why it is important to have an impartial party available who can help be an advocate for the best interests of your child. This advocate is known as a guardian ad litem, or GAL. At Bivek Brubaker & Prescott LLC, our Atlanta guardian ad litem lawyers can serve as a GAL or help guide you through the process when a GAL has been appointed to your case.

If you are involved in a contentious child custody dispute and have had or would like a GAL appointed to your case, we can help. Contact our Georgia family law attorneys online or call us at 470-663-9404 to schedule a 30-minute consultation to discuss your situation.

The Role Of A Guardian Ad Litem

The role of a GAL is relatively simple, and that is to act as an impartial advocate for the child’s best interests. However, this does not mean that a GAL is advocating solely for the child at the expense of the interests of the parents. A GAL will try to walk the line between what will best serve the needs of the child as well as the needs of the parents. This involves acting as a parent coordinator and conducting custody evaluations in an effort to determine what the best fit will be in terms of child custody.

Experienced Help With Contested Custody Cases

At Bivek Brubaker & Prescott LLC, our attorneys have extensive experience helping guide parents through highly contested custody cases that may involve a GAL. Our Atlanta divorce lawyers handle all custody matters, including those involving:

  • Relocation
  • International child custody
  • Military divorce and custody
  • Multi-state custody issues
  • Special needs children
  • Modifications to custody orders
