A: Yes, legal guardianship will likely enable you to enroll them in school. An informal agreement with the father however will not give you any real power.

A: Under California law, if your daughter has abandoned her children and you have been caring for them, you may seek temporary guardianship to provide stability and enroll them in school. However, it is advisable to consult with an attorney to properly initiate the legal process and ensure compliance with California laws and regulations regarding guardianship. - James Arrasmith, Owner.
