[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 675987, member: 19905"] I would see what that makes you "liable" for per your state. I am sure it varies. In mine, we would not be "liable" for anything Difficult Child does legally/financially/etc, but instead "obligated" to step in on her behalf should she make financial/legal/medical decisions that are not in her best interest. It gives control of finances, etc. We can step back as long as decisions are sound, but put the brakes on if they go off the rails. Also, for me it would depend on how "cooperative" Difficult Child is. If it is seen as "control" and Difficult Child is constantly fighting against it and making you jump through hoops out of rebellion, it might not be worth it. If Difficult Child is more cooperative and understanding of why, what it means, and can see it as a safety net instead of handcuffs, it might be worth it. Every Difficult Child is different. You might even look into doing it on a "temporary" basis (available where I live) that is revisited every 6 months or a year. Difficult Child might be more cooperative/understanding to that. I would also want to know the process involved if you decide at some point to drop guardianship. [/QUOTE]
