QUESTION
Could I get guardianship of three children without the parents signature?
Asked on Sep 14th, 2015 on Child Custody - Michigan
More details to this question:
A mother is unable to care her for children due to drug problem. I am their grandmother. Her children have lived with me for 7 years. The mother continues to come and go. I lost my job because she was not here to care for the children. This put us in financial straits. I would like to be able to make decisions for medical and school and get help with day care so I could return to work. I want to make a better life for the children.

It is certainly possible. You will need to make a very strong case, however. Find a good family law attorney: it's almost always worth the investment, and a lawyer will know how to gather information and how it can be presented effectively to the court.

It appears that you are doing God's work, and I wish you success in that venture. It is possible, under certain circumstances to have guardianship. It will take going to court and presenting your case unless the parents agree.
