Can you detail for me the process and estimated costs for giving guardianship of my 16 year old son to a close friend in Utah so he can finish high school there?

Re: Guardianship

It is impossible to give you the details of the process here. You can check the GA code at http://www.legis.state.ga.us/cgi-bin/gl_codes_detail.pl?code=1-1-1 "Guardian and Ward" are in code sections 29-1-1 et seq. Having said that, the process is that you file a petition in the probate court of your county to have your friend appointed as guardian. The clerk of your probate court can give you more information.
