Hi, I might need some advice. My ex-husband and father of my child has just died. He named our minor child as the beneficiary of his life insurance. The insurance company told me that they would not release court funds without financial guardianship. I am his surviving parent and guardian. Is there anything else I need to look for? Is there an exception to the residency requirement rule to apply for guardianship in the State of California, i.e. being a CA resident for six months, in the county for three months? My client is “not” the biological father of the minor; However, he had a close relationship with the son while living in Arizona with the child`s mother (his ex-girlfriend). They are no longer together; However, it is the mother`s intention to do the ex. as the child`s guardian, as it provides for longer medical treatment for possible cancer.
The child is not related; That`s why mom is willing to admit the ex. bring the child to California; She will complete the informal authorization of the caregiver and then file the legal documentation for the guardianship in CA. I would recommend speaking to a lawyer to see what your legal rights may be and how you can approach this contentious issue. Hi Linda: A temporary extrajudicial guardianship permit would likely work initially. Once your granddaughter settles permanently in Arizona, you should be able to apply for permanent guardianship in that state. Call us for help preparing the required documents. You can reach me at 800-747-2780 ext. 100. To grant this authority, fill out a form that documents details such as the child`s name, guardianship start and end date, payment of expenses, and other important information.
It is also important that you give the temporary guardian written permission to request medical treatment for your child. Most states and many legal organizations offer these forms online. Your state may require signatures on the form to be notarized. Some states, such as Illinois, require two adults who are not appointed as guardians to act as witnesses. To be sure, check the requirements through your district court or state website or call an attorney.

The baby`s mother is still absent due to drug problems and does not give financial support. The father keeps coming to take the baby to daycare, but doesn`t help financially at all and basically isn`t there unless we ask him for help. I want to take custody of my niece, but I`m not sure of my chances and I`m afraid to ask for legal help because I don`t want her to come back on me.
I am 23 years old and have a full-time job and I live with my boyfriend and his family, so our home is very stable in every way. I am just wondering how to do it.

Hello, my little sister is 17 years old, she will be 18 in May 2018. She lives with my mother here in California. My mother and father are separated. My sister wants to live in Connecticut with her boyfriend and family and be enrolled there to finish high school. My mother gave her consent to move.
My father doesn`t want her to leave. What will she need to move there and be registered by her mom friend (who also knows and agrees that my sister makes fun of them)?? Thanks in advance. Judicial guardianship requires a court order. The investigation is usually not conducted by the CPS, but by Family Court Services. It would be necessary to inform potential fathers, but from what seems to indicate that they will not respond when they are out of state. Let us know if you need help with the formalities as they are quite extensive. Hi, I have legal guardianship of my husband`s 16-year-old cousin in California. His mother died when he was 11 and his brother took custody of him. 2 years later, his brother died in a workplace accident while working in Wyoming. A case for the wrongful murder of his brother was recently settled and, as guardian of the child, I received a settlement cheque.
I just need to know legally how to cash this cheque and what my reporting obligations are. The check is written just like his Social Security checks and I deposit these checks every month. Hi Sandy, two years ago until today, my granddaughter`s grandparents applied for guardianship. Parents can sign a letter of guardianship giving a family member or friend permission to care for the child and make medical and educational decisions for the child while in their care. This power of attorney acts as a power of attorney, but does not give the caregiver formal custody of the child. In addition, a parent`s statutory rights are neither terminated nor suspended. Unless the court has dealt specifically with this issue, it is usually up to the guardian of the case. Of course, a parent can appeal to the court if they deem it necessary. This is an excellent guardianship guide.
kids-alliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/GuardianshipHandbook.pdf The court will then review your application and hold a hearing to discuss the seriousness of the claim. It includes a review of why you believe the end of the parent-child relationship is in the best interests of the child. Hi, my friend wants to give me permanent guardianship for her baby who is not yet born, she wants to start the paperwork now, because if she waits until she has the baby, the state will take the baby where we start. Hi My name is Jessica, I am currently taking care of my 2 month old niece who I had since the day after her birth and imprisonment. When her mother was released a week later, she returned to the streets. I could not locate his mother in order to obtain a written Gaurdianschaft. What would be the best way to obtain legal guardianship for her without a written document edited by her? I haven`t seen my daughter in 4 years, but now I have a child support hearing. I lost custody of the child 4 years ago and have not made contact since. Can I voluntarily sign my rights so I can sever ties and move forward in life? Can I share custody with my parents of 2 sons (16 and 15) if their father wants to sign his legal rights? All of this happened 40 years ago.
What if you signed a document that you were told gave sole custody to the mother, when in fact she signed your parental rights? Nothing can change that it happened now 1977-1978, I signed it, there was never a hearing date to see a judge or a lawyer, so my name does not appear on his birth certificate. So it was as if I had never gone further I regretted having signed this paper, since then I also tried to find the mother and my son for 38 years, it was also found that we were of the same blood type, at that time there was no DNA. Only the blood types I think you would need to apply for a new guardianship. My daughter has been in foster care for 10 yeses with the same family they took over guardianship for her about 5 yes ago. She just turned 16 and the women I`m going to call L. contacted me out of the blue and told me that my daughter, who didn`t want anything to do with me 6 months ago, now wants to go home. Now L leaves the country as soon as her house is sold and tells me she doesn`t want my daughter back into the system, so she wants me to keep the CPS outside. But to contact my court-appointed lawyer and ask what to do with the guardianship.
Now, I`m not sure what to think. My daughter hasn`t spoken to me in 8 years. Shed b leave the luxurious life of a 4000 square foot house a housekeeper taught 3 days at school and 2 days at home, I talk on the phone.
