Guardianship of Minor
questions & answers
Question: My sister recently moved to AZ and left her children at my house & didn't tell me she was moving. She left me with no guardianship, power of attorney or ANYTHING that will give me authority to take these kids to get medical attention god forbid something happens. They've been living with me for 10 months. How can I apply for legal custody/guardianship? 4 kids and no help from the parents. I have 4 of my own. What do I do?
Answer: If you are not a resident of Arizona, you would have to contact your state of residence to find out how to go about getting guardianship of the minor children. If you are a resident of Arizona, you can apply for guardianship by going to http://www.azcourts.gov/selfservicecenter/Home.aspx. You may wish to speak with an attorney to know all of your options.
