For custody cases, some courts in Wyoming require parties to retain an attorney who represents the best interests of the children. This attorney is called a Guardian ad litem, or GAL. The GAL spends time with the child(ren) and parents, interviews relevant sources (counselors, school teachers, family members) and makes a recommendation regarding custody, visitation, and any other issues that are in dispute. The GAL plays a vital role in resolving custody matters, and often assists the Parties in reaching an agreement out of court. Additionally, the GAL can address issues that are unique to each family which otherwise may not be included in a “standard” Order from the court.
While most courts in Wyoming do not require a GAL, parties can request the court to appoint a GAL if they think it would be beneficial to their case.
