Each fiance' will need both legal gaurdians to sign if they are under 18. The only way 1 parent can sign is with a legal document that states that the other parent can't sign due to their death.
Probably not--especially if both parents have legal guardianship, whether of not they're still together.
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.
Yes, of course. Only if you mean the original parent's baby though.
Guardianship only
Only the court can revoke or instate a legal guardian. If abuse or neglect of the individual under guardianship is suspected the concerned party should contact social services in the county or city where the person resides. An investigation will be done and the results of such will determine whether or not current legal guardianship should be rescinded, revised and/or other necessary action.
All guardianships begin with a complaint or petition filed in the probate, family or other appropriate court. Unless the parent is competent and consents to the petition, you must also present evidence of incompetence, mental illness or unreasonable spending habits. Some states have guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate (property), two different kinds, and others have conservatorship to handle estate and financial matters only. Some states require a doctor's affidavit for incompetency guardianships.
No. Only parents are granted custody of their children by a court order. You cannot assign custody to a non-parent nor will the court. When a party other than the parent gets "custody" of a child it is done via a guardianship and must be obtained through a court. The person who requests the guardianship is appointed the child's legal guardian, the child is deemed the guardian's ward, and the case will remain under the jurisdiction of the court. There can be no guardian appointed if a parent has custody.No. Only parents are granted custody of their children by a court order. You cannot assign custody to a non-parent nor will the court.

The choice of the non-custodial parent would not supecede the decisions made by the legal custodial parent. The aunt would need to petition the court for legal guardianship of the minor. Whether or not child support would be ordered is questionable and would be a decision left to the presiding judge. The aunt would need to present substantiating evidence of why the minor should be removed from the biological parent's custody. Generally the only acceptable reason would be proof of neglect and/or abuse. The person applying for guardianship is responsible for all court costs and applicable legal fees.
