I assume the child has some kind of problem or they would be emancipated at 18 like everyone else. If this has been a problem all their life like Down's Syndrome, it should not take long, depends on how busy the court is. If the child however has no problem you will have to prove in court why you should be his/hers guardian past 18 and that will take longer. Very likely will the child also fight you on that one.

How does a parent obtain legal guardianship of adult child with down syndrome disability?

To obtain legal guardianship of an adult child with Down syndrome or a disability, a parent must file a petition in court. The court will assess the child's ability to make decisions independently and determine if guardianship is necessary for their well-being. This process often requires medical evaluations and legal documentation. If granted, the parent will have the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the adult child, including those related to healthcare, finances, and living arrangements. to know more discuss or take help Guardianship lawyer(561-444-0131).

Would you get child support if you took custody of your neighbor's 15-year-old daughter?

The adult with whom the minor resides must petition the court for guardianship of the child. A parent cannot legally "give" their child to a neighbor nor the neighbor legally take the child, an exception might be due an emergency or for a matter of a few days with the parent's consent. The person seeking guardianship can also request child support, medical coverage and so forth. It will be up to the judge to decide if guardianship should be granted, if the child must remain in the home, or if the child is to be remanded into state custody.

If both parents sign over temporary custody to a grandparent can the parent who has physical custody terminate the guardianship and take the child back?

It depends on the State the parent and child reside in, the State the temporary legal guardianship was signed in, and weather or not a judge was involved. Usually a temporary guardianship is revocable by either of the natural parents, either by having a revocation notarized or by simply writing on their copy of the temporary guardianship form that such guardianship is being revoked with a signature and date of revocation. This is then presented to the temporary guardian and the child is turned straight over to the natural parent who now wishes guardianship returned to them. The temporary guardian can fight the issue and get the courts involved, but the vast majority of time things go the parents way in these regards. Again, it all goes back to circumstance and especially the State where this is all taking place. I would suggest googling "temporary guardianship rights", or see if you can look up the specific legal codes on guardianship in your state.


Can a biological parent adopt their own child?

The answer depends on the details. It depends on the reason for the guardianship. If the child was removed from the parent's custody and placed with a guardian the parent may or may not be able to regain custody. If the parent's parental rights were terminated they cannot get legal custody of the child back. If the parent consented to a temporary guardianship and the parent is now better able to care for the child the guardianship can be terminated and custody restored to the parent. It would not be necessary for the parent to adopt the child.
