Re: guardian
A notarized letter won't work, but her ex-husband may be able to give you a power of attorney.
If that doesn't work, you have two choices:
1) adopt her (the right way to do it)
2) file a guardianship lawsuit (not really the way it's supposed to be done, but since it works that way in a lot of states, lawyers, principals, teachers, doctors, and others in Florida think it's okay)
