Legal Question in Family Law in California
My husband and I live in California, and do to the job market, are now moving to Utah for a job my husband just excepted. Our son who is 16 and will be a junior next year wants to stay in California. We want to give Temporary Guardianship to our best friends who we know will raise our son with the same morals and values. Our friends live in a different school district, if we sign papers and have them notarized, will this be legal enough for our son to attend school in their school district. We were told it had to be an extended family member, but we are giving Guardianship to our best friends, and as parents, I feel we have the say so who will raise our son. Thank you in advance for any help.

You would need more than notarized papers to satisfy most school districts. I suggest you ask the district what they would require, since policies vary. We would just be guessing. Since it is not a family member, however, you may have to get a court ordered legal guardianship. Other districts accept any reasonable proof as to where the child permanently resides. Again, ask the district what their particular policy is.
