Appointing a Legal Guardian

I recently became guardian of my 13 yr old grand daughter who lives with me. My daughter is unable to care for her.
I am looking for a legal document that grants me legal guardianship of her.

I am also interested in obtaining a living will.

Please advise if you have such documents and the cost to provide them to me.

My 15 year old Daughter has requested to live with her 27 year old Sister in New Orleans. I have consented and flew her to New Orleans from here in Houston, Texas. Her new high school has stated that they need for me to transfer guardianship to my daughter in New Orleans so she can make decisions regarding my 15 year old daughter's medical care, etc... What do I need to do please ?

Hello, I have a child that I have helped raise since birth , I am now temporary guardian to him . his mother was abusing drugs and tried to commit suicide last august. he was then moved from her home into her sisters home , then his mother moved him from her sisters house to his paternal grandmothers house and then from there he is now with us. so he has been moved by his mother 4 times since October 2009 through CPS. I want to get permanent guardianship of him so she can no longer move him until she can complete her treatments and get him back through CPS. CPS told me the only way that I can make 100% sure that he can not be moved from my house is to go file permanent guardianship documents through the courts. I don’t know what exact paperwork I need to get and fill out. I could use some help in this process. If you all have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Could a last will include guardianship should the parent become unable to care for their child, but is still living?

Do you have the documents to file for temporary custody of grandchild in Georgia. Parents have agreed just need to file paperwork.

How, as a same sex couple, can we make it so that the other person can make important decisions with our children. Decisions such as in school and medical decisions. What about when the maternal parent passes away? How can the kids stay in their home now?

My daughter is 20 years old and has a 6month old daughter ... Right now I keep the 6month old while my daughter is away at college. The father never signed the birth certicate and has never assumed any parental responsiblity. If something should happen to my daughter, what should we do today so that she would remain in my guardianship?

My granddaughter is a single parent and she wants to appoint a legal quardian for her daughter. Do you have any forms? If not what is the cheapest way to go she does not have much money. No help from the father. Could a para legal take care of it for her

In the stae of Texas, if both myself and my spouse were to die simultaneously, I would like my parents to get custody of our children. My parents are US citizens and maintain property and domicile here. Would i need to necessarily appoint them as legal guardians or would this be the natural progression of things? My husband is Bulgarian and he insists that he would like his brother (not a US citizen who lives in Bulgaria) should get our children. He will not sign papers appointing my parents as legal guaradians. Is it possible that if we never appoint legal guardians my children could be shipped off to a foreign country? Can I as the mother appoint my parents as legal guardians in the event of our untimely deaths without my husbands signature?
Thanks

My husband's son from a previous marriage whom lives with his mother has asked him to sign over legal guardian to his step-brother who is 27 so he can attend school in a different city than he goes to now. My question is should he do that and also he pays 1200.00 a month child support, is he stiil liable to pay her the child support if he signs over legal guardianship to the stepbrother?

I have 100% physical custody of my two kids and split legal with ex 50/50. He is an alcoholic and has court orders not to have overnights with kids until he is sober and goes through a program etc. This has been going on for a couple of years. He is not seeking treatment and sees the kids for dinner once a week or so. Meanwhile, I am in a commited relationship, but not legally married. I would like to name "my man"(whom my kids call Daddy and their stepdad) as their legal guardian , so that they will have someone responsible to raise them should I die before they are on their own.
Is this possible? How?
Thanks!

It seems important to choose your kids legal guardian or they will be chosen for you.

Do you have a power of attorney form that I can send to my ex husband so that I can change my daughter's last name. He has agreed to the change; I just need to purchase a power of attorney.

I want to have guardian and im doing the papers can i come and live in the usa if im from C.A i already have a visa ?

I was a wkend father of my 2 children from the time of birth.I paid child support, up until their mother passed away. I became a full time father, my kids lived with me& my(now) ex-wife. I moved out of state, my kids ran away to their grandmothers' house. She filed for "Guardingship", then dropped her case, because my kids became too much for her to handle. My ex-wife picked them up from "GM's" house...there is NO judgment made.Where should I start filing papawork?...& what type??? Thank You.

I am 17 years old and am considered a ward of the state. My older sister turned at 7 months ago and our entire lives we have had problems with our foster mom. She is a single woman with deep emotional issues and is extremely controlling and threatens our placement in her home all the time. My younger brother doesnt do anything and neither does the woman, I am in charge of all the household responsibilities. Is it possible for my sister to become my legal guardian? I don't want to live with this woman anymore and my sister is a legal adult. Thank you.

If I were to make a will granting guardianship of my son to my mother, is there something I can do to absolutely make sure that his other grandmother (my mother-in-law) could not get custody of him from my mother? I believe that she might try to fight for custody and I want to make she couldn't. She's not mentally stable and does not hold the same values as I do. What can I do?

I am married to a woman who has children from a previous marriage, and joint custody with her ex. How can we legally establish my parental rights, and insure them in the event of her death?

About nine months ago, my mother left my family. She gave up custody of me without any reason at all. The past few months, my dad has become real sick; strokes, chf, heart attacks etc. The doctors told me he was dyeing. I am 16, and if something happens, i want to make sure that my mom doesn't get custody of me. I live in Michigan- is there anything i could do to guarantee that my mom doesn't get guardianship of me?

All I want is a paper granting me temp custody both parents are willing to sign it, until they get their crap together. You dont have any type of form like that that I could get. Thank you Vicky Smith

What does it cost to become a person's guardian. Due to needing extra help with deciding on situations.

Is there a legal document, in addition to the Kids Protection Plan and will, that you must fill out to prevent a grandparent from having unsupervised visitation with minor children if both parents become deceased? My husband and I want to be sure there is absolutely no time that a specific family member will be allowed to be unsupervised with our children in the event of our death(s).

Hello, I have two children with my ex-husband. He has not been a major part of their lives ever. He moved out when they were 1 and 2 and they are now 10 and 11. He sees them maybe 2x a year. If something were to happen to me, I want, and so do they, to be raised by my current husband. I do not think my ex would fight for them, but maybe just to suspend child support (it is all about money for him). What do I need to fill out or do to make sure that their "real" dad and not their biological father continues to raise them? Any help in a direction will be greatly appreciated! Gina
