My Vegas daughter just became a guardian to my granddaughter's best friend, Aleah. She's a sweet girl, 15, and her mother is a tweaker....really bad!! No court involved, just the 2 moms making an agreement 'til June and to be revisited then.
There is also a younger child involved, but you can only do so much. Now, with the guardianship, she can make decisions for this kid.....medical, school, etc. She came with them last time they visited me and she was a good kid and a good little worker.
They will come at Thanksgiving time.
No court? The "guardian" can make life and death decisions for a minor? Don't they usually call them "legal guardians"? Which means court and all. I think it's generous and kind of your daughter. We have done the same for a much younger niece. However, legality? For example: if she were to get hurt(hospital)......who is going to sign the release forms? Certainly not your daughter.....right? See, this is all nice...until something happens. I don't know much about this process......but I think at least a lawyer is needed(and suspect alot more).
