What if parents cannot agree on custody/access issues to the child(ren)?
When parents cannot agree on custody and parenting issues, the Court will usually appoint a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) to help determine what is in the best interest of a child or children, and in some cases the Court will appoint an attorney for the minor child (AMC). The Court may also require that the family undergo a custody evaluation either by a Family Relations Counselor, who is a state employee, or by a private custody evaluator.
