Minor's Counsel

Minor's Counsel is a legal advocate appointed when a child or minor is involved in legal proceedings, especially in family or custody cases. Their role is to represent the best interests of the child, guiding the court with expert advice on what will benefit the child's well-being. They act independently of the parents or other parties, ensuring the child's voice is considered and their rights are protected during the legal process. Major’s Counsel may be appointed if the minor is old enough to express their wishes, balancing the child's preferences with their overall safety and development.
