[QUOTE="slsh, post: 611603, member: 8"] Tia - check to see if your state has a Guardianship & Advocacy Commission (GAC). They should be able to give you factual info (not legal info) about what is involved. We have guardianship of oldest (got it the month before he turned 18), but because we didn't use an atty and he wasn't assigned a GAL, there were some technical issues I wasn't aware of - we have to schlep back to court next month to deal with things. It's really important to know *all* the legal responsibilities of being guardian and make sure you follow them to the T. If you think she will fight it, might not be a bad idea to consult with an atty. I would guess you have ample documentation to justify guardianship, but... there are rules and procedures in court that us lay folk don't know. Much better to have a skilled person guide you. Hindsight being 20/20. :winking: [/QUOTE]
