Guardianship

I would like to get legal guardianship of my two nephews, one is biological the other is not. I feel their mother is unfit for them. They live in Idaho. and i live in Arizona how can I do this?

What procedures must hospital follow to become a legal guardian for a person who is deemed incompetent?

My divorced son has shared custody of my adorable 9 yr. old grandaughter. He is now engaged to another woman, who is living with him. My concern is with this woman who seems to think that she has all the power to make decisions concerning my grandaughter. Some are OK, but most are not. She has never had a real family of her own, and never had any children. Problem is, my son was always a terrific dad, but is now completely agreeing with this woman. We have always been an extremely close family, with many children and grandchildren. I find her to be rude, and controlling. I really don't want to make waves, but I am becoming upset with her attitude. Does she have any rights, or do you think I might be able to be honest with her, and tell her when she is upsetting me, and my grandaughter (who has always been extremely close to me)? My other daughters have mentioned the same things to me, when they were around her.

My daughter is legal guardian of our great grand son who is 6 mo old. Can she legally move out of the territory away from the legal mother with the child.

In July of 2006, I went to court in Georgia and obtained legal custody of my 22 month of grandaughter.(Audrey) She had been placed in foster care after being severely injured by my daughter's male "roommate". My daughter was not home of time of injury (2:30am) but when social services inspected the house found it to be unsuitable for an infant. (Dirty clothes, dishes, no food etc). There was also some probability that my grandaughter had been sexually abused, though that was never determined as a fact. My daughter relocated to Virginia in December of 2006 to be close to her daughter but has taken very little interest in establishing herself as a mother . She has two full time jobs but contribues only about a $50 a week toward the care of my grandaughter and finds excuses almost every weekend to why she can not do more. I had given her my old apartment furnished, and moved to a house so that the baby could have her own room, but my daughter has only physically kept her on two nights since December. I have placed no restrictions on her visting. I am retired and planning to move out of state within the next year and feel, based on my daughter actions she is still not prepared to take care of my grandaughter. She is 30 years old and involved heavily in Poetry venues that use degrading and inappropriate lanuage. I know for a fact in the past she has taken my grandaughter with her. During one weekend in May I found out that she went to New Jersey and New York, to participate in a poetry venue while stating she had no funds to assist with her daughter.More importantly she has been caught up in several lies. For example: Saying she was ill and could not visit but finding out she had been out at a club. I would like to know if the aforementioned would be enough for me to get permanent custody of my grandaughter. The court issued custody until a certain time.
