Re: Guardianship

I am guessing your papers that say you have legal custody came before the guardianship was established. Based on that assumption, you will need to go back to court. I suggest you speak to your mother and step-father about this and see if they are willing go along with your child�s request. If everyone is in agreement, this can be rather inexpensive and not such a traumatic and emotional experience for all involved. I also recommend you seek advice from a local family law attorney in your area.
