Guardianship for Minors

A guardian of a minor is a legal relationship granted by the court where an adult who is not the child’s natural parent has the responsibility of providing support, care, education, health and welfare for a person under 18 years old. A guardianship is usually granted when the minor child’s parents are unable or unwilling to properly provide care for the child. You can establish a guardianship of a minor by filing the necessary documents in court. It is important to note that a guardianship is not permanent, and the natural parents can petition the court to terminate the guardianship.
