Understanding what a Guardian ad Litem does and how their involvement can affect your case is important for any parent going through issues in the family court system. Whether you’re going through a contested divorce, a child custody modification, or a dependency case, the presence of a GAL can influence major decisions. This article breaks down what parents need to know about a Guardian ad Litem appointed by the court in Arizona family law matters.

When families separate, it’s not just the parents and children whose lives change—siblings often feel the impact too. In many Arizona child custody cases, a common question arises: do siblings have legal rights to remain together, and can a judge separate them? Arizona law focuses heavily on the “best interests of the child,” and this includes maintaining healthy sibling relationships when possible. However, the courts also look at each child individually, especially if their circumstances, ages, or parental attachments differ.
