Legal Question in Family Law in California

Child Advocate re custody

Custodial parent is terminally ill. Per court order(s) non-custodial parent only allowed supervised visitation. Non-custodial has unsuccessfully engaged in numerous court proceedings to change custody. Children (over the age of 13) do not want to live with non-custodial parent under any circumstances. What steps need to be taken to ensure custody would not go to non-custodial parent upon custodial's death? Custodial parent & children do not have financial resources.

Re: Child Advocate re custody

You should file for a guardianship if you feel that you would be the proper parent for the child. IT will be a contested hearing as it seems the non custodial will not consent to the guardianship.

If you have futher questions, please contact an attorney to help you with your case.

Good luck.
