FAQ
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.
The legal guardianship document is a formal declaration to the court system that another party is responsible for the well-being of the minors. No one can predict when an accident or other disaster may occur. Some include a legal guardianship document in their wills to determine who will raise their children.
The main difference between custody and guardianship is the child's parents - custody is provided to the child's biological parents while guardianship is given to a non-biological parent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
