Re: guardianship
well, depending on your situation, you have to look at guardianship or adoption. I handle quite a few adoptions in which the significant other/spouse adopts the biological child of the other significant other/spouse. That way, the child now has two parents again, and if one dies the other parent still has legal standing over the child.
The options are very situation specific, and you need to understand the legal ramifications of what you are entering into. Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.
