If you are a GAL, you must be a GAL on some case, right?
The GAL is a party in a D&N; 19-1-111(3),CRS. (Though not in a delinquency; id, or in a paternity case. In the Interest of A.R.W., 903 P.2d 10, 12 (Colo. App. 1994).) So a GAL’s standing would seem to come automatically in a D&N.Section 19-3-203(3), CRS, allows, in part, the GAL to “make recommendations to the court concerning the child’s welfare,” and other really pertinent language. Certainly the future contacts with family concerns the child’s welfare.Assuming you’re in a D&N, I don’t think you have to rely on the 19-1-117, CRS, grandparents visitation statute at all. Hope this is helpful.

Under 19-1-117 does a GAL have standing to file a motion on behalf of the child to get visitation with grandparents ?
