Q: What if the guardians/adopted parents are sociopathic and pry into the adopted child's life?
I have a case that involves these guardians/adopted parents having a history of stealing money, identification papers and copying federal documents that belonged to the child without the child's permission or notification. The child was also unjustly kicked out by their guardian/adopted parents three times (twice while a being a minor), especially when the child was unable to find an adequate job. On top of that, the child, according to medical records, has Asperger's (or autistic spectrum disorder). The child wishes to remove them perminantly as family members, especially after the guardians denied they took oath for adoption in court. What would be the best action to take?
A: If the person is no longer a minor, but is still under a guardianship, then the person should go to probate court to seek to have the guardians removed. Once removed or replaced, the person could then also remove their names from all financial accounts and set a credit lock with the credit bureaus so they can no longer gain access to money.
