What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is when court may order that someone other than the child’s parent have custody over the child and/ manage their property as well. Guardianship is not just limited to the needs of a child, but for the needs of an elder as well. The purpose of guardianship is to ensure the safety and interests of the child/elder and our Law Firm in San Diego County is determined to do just that. We understand this may be a difficult situation and are very understanding of our client’s needs. At Thompson & Belnap our goal is to establish the need for a consistent guardian in a child’s life who can actively participate in every aspect that comes with the child. We take this matter very seriously because we know our youth’s future depends on it.
