Experienced Chico Guardianship of Children Lawyer
At Rooney Law Firm, our attorneys provide legal advice and representation to clients seeking guardianship over minor children. There are several situations where child guardianship might become an issue, including:
- Parents have left the country and abandoned the children
- Parents have both died in a tragic accident
- Parents have both been found legally unfit to raise the children through criminal activity or drug use
Most often, these situations arise from the parents' involvement in criminal or otherwise self-destructive activities. Fortunately, guardianship exists as a process by which loving individuals can care for children in need. Once guardianship has been established, the guardians can seek to adopt a child after the termination of parental rights.
