Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Durable Power of Attorney

Can a durable power of attorney be considered a relinquishment of parental rights?The DPA was written to estblish a guardian for a minor in case of incapacitation of the mother.Who can determine incapacitation? What if the DPA is revoked and the principal is determined incompetent at a later date? Will this overturn the revocation? If the DPA is revoked, and a petition for guardianship has been filed, can the parent get law enforcement involved if the personss that have the child refuse to release her? If the mother has sought professional psychiatric assistance, is this automatically a consideration of disability and incapacity? Can guardianship of a minor child be determined in Probate Court? What will happen if the custodial parent attends the hearing unrepresented? The parent cannot afford an attorney and legal services cannot represent due to conflict of interest. What is a motion for dismissal? What forms can be filled out before the hearing? What is the point of contact for that information?
