Q: Can a grandparent granted temporary legal guardianship file for full legal guardianship with no contact of the mother
They did file numerous motions culminating in a legal guardianship being granted to the grandparents and without the court ever one time in the whole procedure seeing the mother in court and has send all paperwork to the wrong address knowingly so the mother would not be informed of the proceedings and also refuses to now allow the children any contact for the past two-and-a-half years without punishment if they are trying to contact the mother. Refusal to release any medical records and refusal to even acknowledge the mother in the case the mothers 15 year old child's car accident
A: The guardianship laws in Arkansas have changed in the last few years. Terminating a guardianship is a lot easier now. Contact an Arkansas attorney to discuss. The law is now on the side of a parent who is fit to care for the child. If that parent consented to the guardianship, it helps also. The parent needs to have a job, no drugs, home, no thugs hanging around, etc.
