Legal for a 14-year old to become legal guardian of cousin's child?

Question

Okay, big issue here. Is it legal in the state of New Jersey for a 14-year old girl to become the legal guardian for her cousin's unborn son? There has to be some kind of restrictions or something like that, right?

Answer 1

NO WAY NO HOW NO KID

Answer 2

nowhere in the world is it allowed for a 14 year old to become a legal guardian. there are some places which even require guardians to attend a parenting seminar before they are officially registered as such.

you'te way too young. i tell you this. the responsibility is not that easy.  

Answer 3

not at fourteen, you cannot sign papers if the child needs to be admitted to a hospital or special care was needed, a legal guardian is an adult.

Answer 4

You would have to be considered a legal adult to be a legal guardian.  So, 14 would be way too young to do this for someone else's kid.

Answer 5

I doubt if they can become a legal guardian.A legal guardian has to be able to take care of and support a baby.I do not know ANY 14 yr olds in Jersey or ANYWHERE who have a full time job, their own car and house and support themselves financially.
