Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
I'm 16 and my mother is in Jail. I don't have a legal Father. I'm leaving with my grandmother but she has no legal rights to me. Who is my legal guardain as of right now.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Without a Court Order, your grandmother is your "defacto" guardian, but is not your "legal guardian.
She can get Guardianship Orders very easily.
We can certainly help her consider and then pursue her options.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please have her call us directly to discuss the specifics of the matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your a 1/2 hour consultation.
