Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

guardianship

My family recently moved to Florida from New Jersey. My son who is 17 would like to complete his high school senior year in New Jersey. We will be sending him back to live with his grandparents and aunt so he can do that. Do we have to give up parental custody for him to attend school and live there, or do we just need something in writing for the school saying that's who he'll be staying with for the school year?

Re: guardianship

If he's in a public school, contact the school and find out what the school requires in terms of residency and relationship between supervising adults and your child.

Once you have this information, the appropriate legal steps could be pursued. At the very least, your parents should have a Power of Attorney to act in loco parentis in your absence.
