Free Guardian ad Litem Contact Log PDF

Keep a clear record of GAL communications with dates, topics, and follow-ups in one PDF.

Published December 1, 2025

A guardian ad litem (GAL) may speak with parents, kids, and teachers. Logging every contact helps you show what was discussed and what follow-up was requested.

When to use this

  • You have an active custody case and want a timeline of every GAL call, email, or meeting.
  • You need to remember what documents or actions the GAL requested and when.
  • You plan to share a concise log with your attorney or legal aid before hearings.

How to do it (fast)

  1. Open the Guardian ad Litem Contact Log tool below.
  2. Enter your case name, court, GAL name, and your name.
  3. Add each contact with the date, method, topic, summary, and follow-up needed.
  4. Download the PDF and keep it updated after each conversation.

Why this helps

  • Shows you responded to the GAL’s requests and kept communication organized.
  • Captures follow-ups so you do not miss sending documents or scheduling visits.
  • Provides a court-friendly log if questions arise about what was shared and when.

Why tracking GAL contact matters

A detailed log shows you were responsive and provides context if the GAL summarizes interactions to the court. It also helps you avoid disputes about who said what or whether follow-ups were completed.

What to record after each conversation

Note the date, method (phone, email, text, in person), topic, a short summary, and any follow-up needed. Include whether you sent documents, scheduled visits, or need to check back on a request.

Keep it organized with CourtPDF

Use the tool to add entries immediately after each conversation and download the PDF for your records or your attorney. Updating the log regularly keeps your custody file organized and ready for court.
