Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Children Gaurdianship Procedures
I'm active duty military stationed in Hawaii. I'm looking at getting (mutually agreed upon) guardianship of my younger sisters 2 kids. I'm trying to determine how long and what legal fees may incur during the process? The children currently reside in NY with their mother.

Re: Children Gaurdianship Procedures
My sympathies for your sister's poor health.
Regarding your question; the documents are not complex. The petition is made under Article 81 and there are 6 forms that must be prepared and submitted to the court.
The NY Bar Association offers lecture/workshops in Queens and Manhatten to teach how to perform and become a guardian.
My fee for preparing all 6 documents would be $800. You and your sister (she is the one in NY) are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
Mt best wishes for her improved health and ultimate recovery.
