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.
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.

They can only do so if the child is a qualifying child or relative anyway...and they provided the support.
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.
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.
Neither, just guardianship.
They would need to be under a legal guardianship and the parents under a child support order.
It sounds as if child protective services has guardianship and, if so, you can't simply take your child back from them.
An illegal alien cannot become a child's guardian. A guardian is someone who is legally allowed to look after a child and lives in a particular country legally.
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.
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.
