guardian ship?

Question

im currently looking after my 4 niceces and nephews and my solicitor has recomended going for guardianship does anybody know how this works

Answer 1

My mother--in-law has had custody of 3 of her grandkids for about 11 years now. They were placed with her by the state because they were taken from her daughter's custody. Her daughter's rights were terminated a LONG time ago. Every year she has to go to the court and file new guardianship papers. Last year, her daughter gave birth to another child and she didn't want her. She signed a power-of-attorney paper over to her mom and then my mother-in-law went to the court to file guardianship papers for the baby. They had to come and check out her home and make sure everything was okay. But she now has guardianship over her as well. The process may vary according to the situation, the state, or even county that you live. But, you can always call or visit the correct court division and they will tell you what you need to do.

Answer 2

you pretty much become a custodian of all legal matters and personal matters over the children..they usually are temporary until the parent gets better or things like that and usualy they can contest you to get them back... but if you have them long enough on guardianship then you can contest parental rights and get custody of them. usually only a family memeber would win that fight. i would contact a family practice lawer who deals with adoptions and such cause that is pretty much what you are doing.

Answer 3

Hello - I can help you. I did it for my son. First you need to petition
the court. Then you need to go there before hand and inquire what
information they will need from you. It's not as easy as it sounds
and not cut and dry. When I did it for my son I have to supply the
court with alot of information about my son. That was easy as he is handicapped and has epilepsy. If you have the information they need it should go well for you.

I have a few more if you want them
