Read full postSometimes the best path forward for someone who is standing in as a parent for a child is to seek guardianship of that child. Under Colorado law, the guardian’s role includes providing the child with all the nurturing a parent would, including providing him or her with food, shelter, health care, and an education. The legal guardian retains all of the legal responsibilities that a parent has in relation to supporting and caring for the child.
The difference between being a legal guardian and an adoptive parent is that, as a guardian, it isn’t necessary to interfere with the child’s legal relationship with his or her parents in order to take on the role. If you are considering guardianship or are ready to move forward as a guardian, retain the professional legal counsel of an experienced Aurora family law attorney with extensive experience in guardianship today.
Some guardians are appointed by the court in the foster care system, but many others are related to the children who are in their care and for whom they become legal guardians. Guardians are often aunts, uncles, grandparents, or even older siblings. Guardianship allows the guardian the legal right to care for a child when his or her parents can’t or won’t fulfill that responsibility. With guardianship, the child’s parents can remain in the child’s life as his or her parents without assuming the responsibility of everything involved with caring for that child full time.
The legal role of the guardian is important for several very good reasons that include:
