Role of a Guardian ad litem in Wisconsin

A 'guardian ad litem' (GAL) in Wisconsin is a licensed attorney appointed to represent the best interests of children in family law cases, not necessarily their desires.The GAL's duties include conducting investigations into child custody, visitation, and support matters through interviews, document reviews, and expert consultations to assist the court in decision-making.
Costs for a GAL range from $1,000 to $3,000, typically split between the parents, but the county may initially cover these costs for financially incapable parents, who are then responsible for reimbursement.
