Q: Any cases where a judge may forego a bond when dealing with minors and conservators which are their parents? § 29-3-41
Just curious as to much this may cost as I still have to raise her.
A:
I appreciate that navigating the legal system without the assistance of good legal counsel can be confusing!
To answer your question, typically no - a judge would not forgo a bond even though the minor's conservator may be his or her parent. Unfortunately, the law doesn't really permit them to establish a minor conservatorship without requiring the bond.
That said, if you are having trouble obtaining a bond yourself, you still have some options. I'd be happy to explain them - just give my office a call.
If your only concern is the cost of the bond (so, you're eligible to be bonded), then I am pleased to let you know that the bond can be paid from the conservatorship assets, since the purpose of the bond is to protect those assets.
Need more help? Give me a call! Good luck!
