Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Guardianship
Can an 18 year old legally live wherever he wants? We
have a family friend that will turn 18 Jan 1, 2005. His
parents in Nov 2004 legally gave guardianship to an
Aunt that lives in Colorado. The boy wants to return to
Florida and live with us when he turns 18. Can he do
this? He has had some minor court appearances such
as restricted driving license for to many speeding
tickets and one for family problems that got of hand.
We do not want to do anything wrong in this matter.
Does the boy have to go to court to endgardianship
when he is 18?

He may not need to terminate the court ordered guardianship. I am available to consult with you on this case.
Re: Guardianship
Guardianship usually requires court termination. The guardian should now petition to have it terminated.
