Q: My aunt was granted guardianship of my daughter. Do I have any legal rights?
My aunt falsely accused me of being a bad mom but because I allowed my child to use her address for school, they granted her guardianship of her. I don't know if I have any rights.
A: It would be a wise use of money to sit down with a local attorney knowledgeable about guardianship so that he or she can explain the situation. If this is a guardianship, you do have rights. More importantly, you also have responsibilities, which if you don't do, you could find your parental rights terminated. This is why it's imperative that you get good legal advice now.
