[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 662117, member: 4152"] We never wanted guardianship over our Difficult Child. However, husband is her designated payee for SS. My thought with guardianship, please correct me if I'm wrong, was that could get confusing legally. If we have guardianship, if Difficult Child does something inappropriate like physically hurt someone, or have a party in her apartment and someone gets hurt, or drives a car and gets into a bad accident and someone gets hurt, or loses her temper and hits someone etc., could the person (s) turn around and sue the guardian? I was thinking, Copa, you have an advanced degree and wouldn't that just be more fodder for a good attorney? "Why Ms. Copa, I see you have a doctorate in ------. And I see you are D.c.'s legal guardian. Weren't you aware that Difficult Child was acting unusually out of sorts the week of May 12th? Didn't you in fact call his doctor and complain about this? Well, Dr. Copa, why didn't you institutionalize your Difficult Child and protect my client from this awful injury?" For us, being SS payee was/is the most important thing as it helps greatly to guarantee a roof over her head. Without control here, I'm 99.999 % sure Difficult Child would be homeless. Again, I'm so sorry that you are going through this heartache and I would push like heck to get that SS payee thing fixed. But I'm curious about guardian ships as I personally think it could have legal problem potential and for us, I just don't think it is right overall. [/QUOTE]
