FAQs

Requirements for guardianship can vary by state, but generally, you must demonstrate that the guardianship is in the best interest of the child. This often involves showing that the child is living with you, that you can provide for their needs, and that the biological parents are unable or unwilling to care for them. Check your state's specific laws for detailed requirements.
