What Are the Disadvantages of Being a Guardian? Time Commitments. Depending on your loved ones physical and mental health and their legal and financial circumstances, serving as a guardian may require a docHub time commitment from you. Financial Obligations. Legal Obligations. Emotional Stress. Family Conflicts.
You may only become a guardian in California by being appointed by the court. There are basically two types of guardianships, guardianship of the person - meaning legal custody and responsibility for the minor, and guardianship of the minors estate - meaning legal responsibility to manage the minors assets.
Generally, guardianship does not terminate the legal rights of parents. Parents and guardians may have different rights depending on the factors of the situation. A full guardian takes over all the legal responsibilities for the child and makes decisions on their behalf.
The court orders that an adult (a guardian) other than a childs parent has the right to make legal decisions in a childs life and has responsibility for the childs care. For example, the guardian makes decisions about the childs medical care and where the child goes to school.
One of the biggest differences is that, in a guardianship, the parents rights to child custody are taken away only as long as the guardianship lasts. Once they are able to care for their child again, the parent can ask a judge to end the guardianship.
