An Illinois Child Representation Order is a court order that requires a lawyer to represent a child in proceedings related to parentage, guardianship, or adoption in the state of Illinois. This type of order is issued when a child needs an attorney to represent them, but their parents are unable to or unwilling to provide representation. There are two types of Illinois Child Representation Order: 1) the Appointed Attorney Representation Order (AARON) and 2) the Court Appointed Guardian ad Item Representation Order (GALLO). The AARON is issued to assign an attorney to represent the child in proceedings related to parentage, guardianship, or adoption; the GALLO is issued to assign a guardian ad item (GAL) to represent the child in the same proceedings. Both types of orders ensure the child is appropriately represented in proceedings and that their best interests are represented.
