A Washington Order Appointing Guardian ad Item for a Minor Party is a court order that allows a guardian ad item (GAL) to represent the interests of a minor party in a child custody, adoption, guardianship, or other legal action. It is issued by a court in the state of Washington. The GAL is a third party who is appointed by the court to investigate the case and make recommendations to the court regarding the best interests of the minor party. There are two types of Washington Order Appointing Guardian ad Item for a Minor Party: a temporary appointment and a permanent appointment. The temporary appointment is made for a specific period of time to evaluate the situation and make a recommendation to the court. The permanent appointment is made to serve as the child’s guardian for an extended period of time, usually until the child reaches the age of majority. In both cases, the GAL has the authority to investigate the case, speak with all parties involved, and make recommendations to the court regarding the best interests of the minor party. The GAL is responsible for acting in the best interests of the minor party and ensuring that their rights are protected throughout the process.
