Do I have to send my niece back to her mother once the temporary guardianship ends?
My 16 year old niece was sent to live with me, with temp guardianship papers that expire soon, to complete her sophomore year in high school, which she was failing in Washington State. Now she does not want to return home to her mother. She has shown remarkable improvements both academically and socially. Do I have to send her home?
What are my legal rights to protect me niece if her father is abusing her and my sister?
I have a sister who is in an abusive relationship. The abuser is an alcoholic and has repeatedly physically hurt my sister. I took the child out of the home today and am very reluctant to bring her back to that situation. I am wondering what my legal rights are as her aunt. Am I able to take emergency custody of this child for her protection?
Can the court appoint someone guardian who has not home or job?
My sister suffered mental illness and was divorced from her ex 13 years ago. Her ex has the custody of their two kids now ages 20 and 17. A month ago the kids were kicked out by the step mom while the father was out of the country for 5 months and no where to be contacted. The kids came to stay with me and now the father asked the 20 year old to be the guardian of the 17 year old. The 20 year old does not have a job or a place of his own. In a case like this, can the 20 year old be a legal guardian in California?
Must a person be an attorney in order to provide guardianship services?
