Re: Guardianship/second husband
Guardianship
I believe what you are asking is, you want your husband to have certain rights with respect to the children re: medical decisions, the right to make decisions as if he were the parent, etc. If this is what you desire, you would need a temporary custody order.
Adoption
There is what is called a step-parent adoption. But, there are too many other facts missing to give you answers to all of your questions, and give you a fee quote. I would be more than happy to discuss the guardianship(custody), adoption, and any other concens you have over the phone. Call me at 423 266-4855.
