When a child’s well-being and safety are at stake, minor guardianship laws allow legal guardianship to be transferred to another adult able to provide for a child. A Franklin County minor guardianship lawyer can work with care and sensitivity to help you create a plan that fits the needs of the child and your family.
Minor guardianship involves arranging legal guardianship for a child when the parents are unable to care for the child. Minor guardianship can be a stressful time, as these cases often involve illness, financial hardship, substance abuse issues, or other circumstances that are challenging for both the child and parents. In 2023,3.8% of children lived with neither parent.
