So what's new? Washington passed a new law that started in January 2021. The new law creates a different court process for authorizing someone to take care of a child under age 18 who is not their own. Instead of filing for non-parent custody, you now file for guardianship of a minor.
Guardianship is where a court appoints someone to make decisions and act for someone else. A court can appoint a guardian for a minor, a child under 18 years old. The guardian has the right to do things that a parent would generally do (RCW 11.130).
In Texas, the process to appoint a guardian includes: Filing an application with a court. Having a hearing before a judge. Having a judge appoint a guardian, if one is needed.
