Guardianship Attorney in San Bernardino County

Guardianship Lawyer in the Rancho Cucamonga Area: Serving Riverside, San Bernardino County and Eastern Los Angeles County

There are numerous situations that could cause the need to assign a legal guardian to a child.  This may occur if the child is unsafe with the parents or the parent(s) may be incarcerated among other situations.  Guardianship is not the same as adoption.  In adoption, the adopting person becomes the legal parent of the child with the same duties and priviledges of a birth parent.  In guardianship, this is not the case.  The guardian may have many of the same rights that a parent may have but the child still retains his/her own parents.

A legal guardian is not necessarily a relative of the child but often it may be a grandparent, brother, sister or other relative.  Sometimes the guardian is the foster parents of the child.  When you need to find out what to do about guardianship for a child, you need to contact a guardianship attorney in San Bernardino County .  I am Christina Ferrante Attorney at Law, and I am very familiar with the guardianship process and can assist you if this is the legal step that is needed for you and a child or children.

San Bernardino Guardianship Attorney

A guardian has many responsibilities for the child, but some decisions may still need a judge’s approval.  This is for the protection of the child.  The guardian can, however, make decisions regarding the child’s education.  The guardian becomes responsible for the child’s welfare and health.  The guardian can make decisions about dental and medical care for the child.  Guardianship can continue until the child reaches the age of 18 or can be terminated if the judge deems that this is safe to do.   If you have questions regarding guardianship, call my office so I can discuss this with you.  I have over 25 years experience with all aspects of family law and will be happy to help you with any guardianship or any other situations that call for a family law lawyer.
