Whats's It mean to have a GAL appointed

A guardian ad litem (also known as a “GAL”) is an attorney for the parties’ child(ren). The guardian ad litem is required to investigate the facts of the case, interview the child(ren) and the parties, and testify or submit a written report to the court regarding his or her recommendations in accordance with the best interest of the child.  Unlike a child representative, the guardian ad litem may be called as a witness for purposes of cross-examination regarding the guardian ad litem's report or recommendations.  For more information about GALs, please see Section 506 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (750 ILCS 5/506).

Dr. Melanie Greenberg’s research shows that novel experiences trigger cascades of neurotransmitters that create new neural pathways, providing alternate routes around your brain’s pain centers toward possibility. This isn’t just feel-good psychology. It’s hard science. Every new experience you embrace after divorce isn’t just a distraction. It’s a reconstruction. You’re literally rewiring your brain for resilience and joy. Consider my own story. Before my divorce, completing a triathlon seemed laughable.
