A child’s interests deserve their own voice.
A Private Guardian ad Litem is an attorney appointed to represent a child’s best interests in a district court matter. The role focuses on the child, rather than either parent’s position, within the appointment and governing requirements.
Rachel’s approach emphasizes listening carefully, understanding the child’s circumstances, and considering information relevant to the issues before the court. Child-focused advocacy can help bring the needs of the child into discussions about custody, parent-time, and resolution.
A PGAL is not a custody evaluator. The appointment does not replace the court’s decision-making authority or either parent’s independent legal representation.
