If you are in the Houston area call our office. If not call some Attorney, you can possibly get what you want. I would not be able to quote a price without more facts.
Re: guardianship of minor child
First of all, the notarized document surrendering parental rights is not effective without a court order. Guardianship must be done with notice to the parents and the surrender of parental rights is not appropriate in a guardianship proceeding. Guardianship could likely be accomplished for approximately $1,500.00 plus court costs and expenses. Custody would likely be more expensive depending upon the opposition by the parents. If you are in Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy, or Starr Co., give me a call or contact me by e-mail.
