Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
incarcerated parent/abandoned minor
The mother of a minor boy has left
him with his grandmother while she
spends the next year incarcerated in
CA. She will not sign any papers
concerning the boy and the
grandmother can not get him
covered under her medical insurance
because of that. How does she now
go about gaining legal custody? The
boy is in school where the
grandmother lives.

Re: incarcerated parent/abandoned minor
She needs to apply to the court in CA to be appointed as the guardian of the child. Best to confer with a CA lawyer to get this done.
