Juvenile Guardianship

Juvenile Guardianship Law

Juvenile guardianships are a method of earning legal custody and decision making authority over minors. Grandparents, friends and relatives can get juvenile guardianship over those children whose parents are deceased or unable to provide adequate care for their child. A "guardian" can make personal and financial decisions on behalf of the minor. The guardianship could last a lifetime or until the child is 18 years old.

Consequences of Juvenile Law:

Setting up juvenile guardianship can be tricky sometimes. Most of the issues surrounding juvenile guardianship come from minor children who were awarded inheritances, when grandparents become legal guardians and when adults are disabled by an injury. Parents typically plan ahead to choose a guardian who can take responsibility for their child, just in case of a tragic event. Disputes over guardianships are can also occur, especially when a child's biological parent does not consent to the arrangement.
