Washington Third Party Custody Checklist For Scope of GAL-PI Investigation is a legal document used by a third-party custodian in the state of Washington to determine the scope of an investigation into a child’s best interests when thirpartyty is seeking custody. The checklist includes a variety of topics that need to be explored in order to make an informed decision. This includes questions about the child’s living environment, the health and safety of the child, the child’s relationships with both parents, any potential abuse or neglect, and any potential issues or concerns the court should be aware of. Depending on the situation, there are two different types of Washington Third Party Custody Checklists: one for Guardians ad Item (GAL) and one for Private Investigators (PI). The GAL checklist is more comprehensive, as it requires a detailed investigation into the child’s best interests. The PI checklist is more focused and only requires investigation into certain areas that are relevant to the case.
