Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

It is as easy as google - http://www.georgialegalaid.org/resource/appointment-of-guardians-for-children-under-g

Guardianship means that the guardian has responsibility for and control over the child who is their ward. Much like having primary custody of the child, with the difference that a guardianship can be revoked by a parent more easily than a change in custody, and guardianships are handled in probate rather than superior courts. Temporary means just that, it is not forever. There may be a certain amount of time for it to be in place, and it can be revoked (although a probate judge will conduct a hearing in cases where there is opposition to the revocation) at the request of a custodial parent. Finally, guardianships do not usually entitle a guardianship to child support or the ability to claim a child as a dependent for tax purposes.
