A: From the time that the petition for guardianship is filed, it may take up to four months for the guardianship to be granted. The amount of time depends on the proper notice to relatives and a completed investigation, by the court, as to the appropriateness of the guardianship.
You can establish guardianship of a child by filing papers in court. Initially, file a petition stating your interest in obtaining guardianship along with a filing fee. You'll also want to file a letter of consent from the child's parents.
File paperwork with the court clerk; ask a judge to appoint you the guardian of a minor child; and, go to a hearing and show the judge why you should be appointed as the child's guardian.
The names of the forms are usually: Petition for Appointment of Guardian (or Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Minor) Petition for Conservatorship (when dealing with an incompetent adult) Order Appointing Guardian.
Tit. 10 § 700-701, the statute allows a custodial parent to temporarily delegate child custody in Oklahoma to another person via an executed power of attorney. This allows a custodial parent a quick and inexpensive way to delegate or transfer child custody in Oklahoma without having to obtain a court order.
Two lines beneath the guardian's address, you should insert the subject heading of the letter. For example, type RE: Temporary Guardianship of Minor Child, Elizabeth Bennett. Draft the body of the letter. The first paragraph of the body of the letter should name your children and state that you have custody of them.
GUARDIAN: In the event I shall die as the sole parent of minor children, then I appoint ____________________________________ as Guardian of said minor children. If this named Guardian is unable or unwilling to serve, then I appoint ____________________________________ as alternate Guardian.
