Understanding Legal Guardianship in Modesto, CA
Guardianship
Having legal guardianship over a child means that the guardian is responsible for providing the necessary care for the child and making sure their needs are met. Even though a person may have guardianship, the child's parents still retain their parental rights and can request contact with the child.
Guardianships are typically granted when one or both parents:
- Have a mental or physical illness
- Are incarcerated
- Cannot take care of the child
- Are unwilling to care for the child
- Have a history of alcohol or drug abuse
