Legal Question in Family Law in California

A guardianship is a lot like a normal custody case with some exceptions. 1) it's not two parent's, but a third party (normally an immediate family member) fighting over custody. 2) this is a probate matter, and 3) Guardianships by its nature are meant to be temporary. A guardianship is created if both parents are unable to care for the minor child, or the minor child is at risk in their care. A temporary guardianship is established if the allegations are to such degree that the risk to the child is SOO great that they create the guardianship to protect the child. Guardianship cases are long lasting cases that last a substantial period of time. Call our offices at 925-225-1025 for more information.
