Re: Legal guardianship
First you file a petition for guardianship.
Second at the trial you prove that staying with her parents will be detrimental to her.
The petition for guardianship consists of several pages that must be properly filled out and submitted to the court.
In addition to the filing fee a fee for the court investigator will have to be paid.
Preparing the petition and other forms is complex and you would be well advised to seek the services of an attorney. First to review the fact and then if warranted to file the petition for guardianship.
