Q: If I was given full custody of my grandchildren inn court of law do I alsohave guardianship
This is for scholarship and financial aid for my grand daughter I have had her her whole life took career of every aspect of her lifenow her future seems to hinge on this one lousy question pleaser help me
A: Technically it depends on the order. It could be filed under the grandparents custody statute, though not likely if it's been in place for a while. If it was established through the probate court, it is likely a permanent guardianship. However, either way, so long as you have a court order, I think it is fair to answer that question in the affirmative that, yes, you are her "legal guardian."
Mr. Samuel E. Thomas and Homer P Jordan IV agree with this answer
A: I agree with my colleague, it depends on what it says on the order. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
