Re: divorce,ssi,property

You can change the guardian the same way you acquired your H as guardian - apply to the court by Petition to Terminate Guardianship and to Appoint Substitute Guardian. If you don't know how to do this, I suggest you contact a lawyer. The house and property is still 1/2 his in community property. You can buy out his 1/2 interest or maybe there's something else with similar value he would accept as payment rather than buying out his interest in the homestead.
