In many states, children aren't permitted to testify in court directly — but that doesn't mean their perspective gets left out. Instead, their voice can be represented through a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) or Attorney ad Litem, a role many parents don't fully understand until they're already navigating a custody dispute. Family law attorney Natalie Oven, who practices as a GAL in Florida, will break down what this role actually involves: how a GAL differs from an Attorney ad Litem, how the rules and permissions vary from state to state, and — most importantly — what parents should look for when evaluating or requesting one. Whether you're heading into a custody case or just want to understand your options ahead of time, this session will help you know what questions to ask and what a good GAL relationship should look like.
