Who Is Advocating for Your Child’s Best Interests?
In high-conflict family law cases, decisions aren’t just about parents—they’re about your child’s future. You may be:
1. Concerned your child’s needs aren’t being fully understood
2. Unsure how the court determines what’s truly best
3. Facing a situation where outside guidance is necessary
An amicus attorney is appointed to focus on one thing: your child’s well-being. Griffith Law Firm, P.C. serves families across Texas by helping ensure every decision centers on what helps children thrive.
A Neutral Voice Focused on Your Child
An amicus attorney is not aligned with either parent. Instead, they serve the court by providing an objective perspective based on what is truly in the child’s best interest.
Rachael Griffith approaches this role with care, professionalism, and a deep commitment to children. She works to understand the full picture—listening, investigating, and evaluating each situation thoughtfully.
In cases involving complex dynamics, including disputes over child custody, this neutral role can bring clarity and help guide more balanced outcomes.
Schedule ConsultationWhat an Amicus Attorney Does in Texas
An amicus attorney is a court-appointed lawyer who investigates the facts of a case and provides recommendations to the judge. Their responsibilities often include:
- Interviewing children (when appropriate), parents, and involved parties
- Reviewing school, medical, and other relevant records
- Evaluating family dynamics and living conditions
- Recommending custody or visitation arrangements
- Participating in legal proceedings as needed
Unlike an attorney ad litem, an amicus attorney does not represent either party or the child directly. Instead, they serve the court by offering an unbiased assessment.
While the judge makes the final decision, the amicus attorney’s findings can play a significant role in the outcome.
