Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado
Guardianship of minor child
My 16 year old son has moved 300 miles away to live with my oldest son who is 22. Do I have to go through the court system to give my oldest son authority or a guardianship so he will be able to put my 16 year old on his insurance, sign for him to have medical attention, register for school, etc., or can I sign a simple non-court filed affidavit or something attesting to my permission allowing my oldest son authority over my younger son? I currently have sole custody of my 16 year old son.

You can give your older son a power of attorney for guardianship to accomplish what you want.
