Georgia Adoption Lawyer: Child Guardianships
The legal concept known as guardianship grants legal custody to an individual for the care and welfare of another person. People seek the guardianship of a child in situations where they will care for a child for a period of time and need to have the legal power to make important decisions regarding the child's welfare.
The guardian of a child — sometimes designated as a temporary guardian — has all of the rights of a legal parent during the period of the guardianship. A child's guardian may enroll the child in school, authorize medical treatment for the child and make other decisions that might otherwise be handled by a parent. A guardianship is different than an adoption because the parental rights of the biological parents are not terminated.
