[QUOTE="Lil, post: 657110, member: 17309"] PG, have you considered going to Social Services and signing up for TANF?* I don't know about your state, but here any non-parent caretaker of a minor child is entitled to TANF. It won't be much, a couple hundred, but it'll help if your state allows it. My state actually also has a statute that allows a guardian to apply to the county - I believe probate court, for money for necessary expenses for a ward. All states differ, of course. There must be some not-for-profit group that helps people with foster-kids or wards. Maybe you can find out what's available in your state from them? Did you have an attorney for the Guardianship? I forget. If so, maybe they'd be able to tell you if your state laws have that provision. *A word of warning though, if you do get TANF, in my state that would automatically trigger a child support case against your daughter to repay the TANF money. Now, if Conner goes to stay with her in the children's area...that would probably cut that off. But she could end up with a debt. I am so sorry she's gotten herself in trouble. [/QUOTE]
