Guardianship

First, a Judge has to decide if the legal burden is met for a guardianship to occur.  Some reasons for guardianship could be parental drug use, instability in a parent’s living situation, abuse, or inability to properly care for the child.

Next, you’ll need to file the correct paperwork, obtain the required background check(s), and attend a hearing with the judge. If you are concerned about any step in this process, Oklahoma guardianship lawyer, Lisa R. Howard, can help.

There are added steps if the child is a member of or eligible for membership in an Indian Tribe. Ask, Lisa R. Howard, an Oklahoma guardianship lawyer if you have questions about these requirements.
