A Voice in Court
In situations where a family goes through a divorce, the children's opinions and needs can become muffled by all the external legal proceedings. At THE LAW OFFICES OF AUBREY HARRY DUCKER JR., P.L.C., we are able to incorporate the Guardian Ad Litem role to the benefit of the children. The Guardian Ad Litem serves children involved in divorce or dissolution cases by speaking to the court on behalf of the child. This appointed position informs the court about the child's feelings and even participates in mediation on behalf of the child.
Guardian for Child During Divorce in Florida
We have served more than 100 children in divorce cases, parental rights cases, as well as dissolution cases where the parents were never married but seeking visitation rights. The guardian ad litem or GAL is appointed by the court to be the next friend to the child involved in the divorce or dissolution case.
They provide insight about the child dynamic and inform the court about what is in the child's best interest.
The guardian ad litem's representation depends on the age range of the child involved. Children can be represented by a guardian ad litem at an age as early as birth and even until they reach majority and graduate at 18 years old. If the children are 16 years or over, the guardian ad litem can help them express themselves to the court without risking hurting the parents on a personal level.
