Well.... The person who has legal guardianship is the person who has LEGAL guardianship. If the mother has custody, no matter where that child moves (untill their 17th or 18th birthdate dependant on the state), the mother will always have custody. The only way to change it is through the courts. * If a custodial order has not been issued by the court that stipulates otherwise, both biological parents have equal custodial rights.
If they have legal custody, they are, by definition, the legal guardians.
Not until the child is born.
It sounds as if child protective services has guardianship and, if so, you can't simply take your child back from them.
A person under a legal guardianship is called a Ward.
No. A step parent, or any other adult that does not have custody of a child is NOT a legal guardian unless a court has given this right to the step parent. This usually requires one of the biological parents to give up their rights or to been seen as unfit to be able to carry them out.
Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records. A parent who does not have legal custody is not entitled to the child's medical records. Generally, they would need a court order to obtain them.Generally, the person who has legal custody or legal guardianship of the child has right to the child's medical records.

Yes unless they are found to be unfit.

No. Nor in any state. Now a person could have a note from a parent authorizing him/her to care for the child in the parent's absence. But that is not the same thing as "legal guardianship". More like "long term babysitter".
Nah. I didn't have to, and my lawer said I didn't have to!(I am serious.)=This may depend on the state and county you live in. In parts of PA, if the grandparents are given custody of a child or have custody of a child, they CAN petition for child support, and yes the parents would have to pay for the care of that child.=
The persons in custody of the child must file for legal guardianship and request the court modify the child support order. The person needs legal standing to receive child support.
yes

A parent cannot give their child to anyone without involving the court so that the guardian will be a legal guardian. The court may allow the guardianship of a child by an adult half-sibling if it is a good placement and in the best interest of the child. You should speak with an advocate at the court or an attorney, if possible.A parent cannot give their child to anyone without involving the court so that the guardian will be a legal guardian.

In most cases, grandparents cannot receive child support for letting a runaway child live with them unless they have legal custody or guardianship of the child. Child support is typically paid to the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the child. Grandparents can seek legal custody or guardianship through the court system to potentially become eligible for child support.
If both parents have legal guardianship (rights) to be with the child, either parent can claim the cellular.
Not until the child is born.
