A Guardian Ad Litem, or GAL, plays an important role in many Georgia custody cases. Their job is to help the court evaluate what is in the best interests of the child and provide a recommendation to the judge.

A GAL does not represent either parent and cannot give either party legal advice, which is why it is important to understand their role and how the process works.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and remind those in unsafe situations that they are not alone. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Domestic violence can affect every part of a personโ€™s life, including their safety, children, finances, and future. Recognizing the signs, believing those who speak up, and helping connect someone with the right resources can make a difference. These are important conversations not only in October, but year-round.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please seek help from a trusted support system, local resource, or emergency services if needed. If domestic violence is affecting a divorce, custody matter, protective order, or other family law issue, Swilling Family Law is here to provide compassionate legal guidance and help you better understand your options.

Weโ€™re back with another Deciphering Legal Jargon! This monthโ€™s term: Pendente Lite.

It may sound complicated, but it simply means โ€œwhile the case is pending.โ€ In family law, pendente lite orders are temporary orders that can address things like custody, visitation, child support, alimony, or other immediate needs while the case is still being resolved.

Think of it as temporary guidance for what happens now, before the final order is in place.

The first day of fall is a reminder that change is a natural part of life. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ

Jobs change. Children grow. People move. Financial circumstances shift. An agreement or court order that once worked for your family may not fit where life has taken you today.

Depending on the circumstances, custody, visitation, child support, or alimony may be able to be revisited through a modification.

If your family has entered a new season, it may be time to take another look at what is in place.

During a family law case, it is easy to spend energy on things you cannot control.

Your exโ€™s behavior. The courtโ€™s timeline. What other people think.

What you can control is how you communicate, how prepared you are, what you document, and how you respond when things get difficult.

Keeping your focus on what is within your control can help you move through the process with more clarity and intention.

Not sure where to focus next? Start with guidance that fits your situation at www.swillingfamilylaw.com.
