I have a mental illness and need medical treatment and have to leave my children with my parents. ?

Question

I have a 13yr old boy and 1yr old boy that I need to keep with my parents. I will need to be away more than a year. What is the easiest way to give guardianship to my parents while I'm getting medical treatment? I'm not sure how long until I return. I don't have any money to pay for a lawyer? Please help? I need to leave soon to get medical treatment.

Thank you

Answer 1

Legally I don't believe you have to go threw all that just leave your parents with and authorization to treat your children medically if something were to happen. When I was once on a vacation that's all I had to do.

Answer 2

You should be able to go to any office supply store like Staples, etc and buy a Temporary Guardianship form.  Be sure to have it notarized and be very specific not to give permanent guardianship- so that when you get well you can have your kids back. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

First try Legal Aid they should be able to help but if not here  is a web site that has a free form on it...Best of luck and best wishes for you and your family
