Guardianship of 17 year old with no parents?

Yes you can obtain a child that is 17 depending on how old you are. You have to have a safe decent home. You also have to have a nice job with good pay to raise the child. Also you can go to the court and file a complaint that the child is being neglected by the parent and the detectives and social worker will investigate both homes. His home to prove your complaint, and your home to see if it is safe for you to get custody of him and they'll just go from there. * The interested party cannot keep the minor in their home without approval from the court. It is not for an individual to decide whether or not a juvenile should be taken from the custodial parent regardless of the circumstances. The state's department of family and children's services should be contacted and the abuse reported immediately. The person who wishes to obtain guardianship for the minor will have to file a petition in the probate court. No guardianship issues will be addressed until an investigation is completed and the results are submitted to the court for a decision on what if any action should be taken. Any adult who knowingly allows a minor to reside in their home without the minor having permission of the custodial parent or the court can be charged with criminal misdemeanors and also be subject to civil action by the custodial party.

How long can a US citizen minor stay out of the us?

It makes no difference how long a US citizen of ANY age is out of the country. "Once a US Citizen, always a US Citizen." -UNLESS- you renounce your US citizenship and become a citizen of another country. However, since the question is about a 'minor' child that eventuality should not arise.


Can a 17 year-old move out of mother's house into grandmother's house?

No. When legal guardianship has been granted the court that issued the guardianship order must also rescind the order. Likewise, in most cases the legal age of majority is not automatically granted when the minor reaches states's age of majority, the guardianhip decree must be cancelled by the court. Be advised that in instances where a guardianship decree is in affect, the guardian does not need permission from the court to have the minor taken into custody by authorities. The law presumes that any such order from the court is valid and enforceable.


What is the difference between joint custody and guardianship?

joint custody means both parents have custody of the children and all decisions concerning the children have to be a joint decision... including trips out of the state. I have not heard of access... I am thinkgin access is giving the non custodail parent visitation rights. Research the Laws for your state.
