As far as I know you are an adult at that age and can pretty much choose where you want to live and with whom.
that is illegal, and dishonest. the person who has guardianship for the child is who the child should be residing with.
Yes. * Maybe. The relative would have to request an investigation from the department of children and family services in the state where the child resides. If the investigation warrants the child being removed from the family home the relative can then petition the court for guardianship rights.
yes, under the specified relative rule. Department of family and children services will give beneifts to the child's blood relative without proof of legal custody or legal guardianship. Then they will transfer the case to the office of child support to sue the custodial parent. DFACS does not care if relative is harboring a runaway or reason child is in relative's care. If you locate your child and have them back in your home, office of child support will still sue you until the relative closes it's welfare case.
You might be ordered to pay support.
Not necessarily, a family member or relative, friend, neighbor, parent of a friend, etc., can petition for guardianship. A child becomes a ward of the state when there is no other responsible adult willing or able to take permanent custody of the child.Not necessarily, a family member or relative, friend, neighbor, parent of a friend, etc., can petition for guardianship.

Not without the approval of the courts.
Well, isn't that a lovely question! Legal guardianship can be given to a relative by going through the proper legal channels in your area. It's important to consult with a family law attorney who can guide you through the process with care and understanding. Remember, it's all about making sure the best interests of the child are at the heart of the decision.
They would need to be under a legal guardianship and the parents under a child support order.
Neither, just guardianship.
you could get his legal gaurdian[s] to sign a legal contract stating that the child is yours by law for only the six months that he is staying here in america A Differing View: I read into your question the meaning that you wish to keep him here in the U.S. and become the child's legal guardian. If THAT is the case, I seriously doubt that scenario will come to pass. The child is a citrizen of a foreign country and cannot legally enter the US under the sham of a 'guardianship' without going through the immigration process.
It sounds as if child protective services has guardianship and, if so, you can't simply take your child back from them.
When a person has guardianship they have the same authority as the parent and can do whatever they feel is in the best interest of the child.
