My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Georgia/ Florida
I am 17 yrs old and i currently stay in Douglasville, Ga. I stay with my aunt. My mom has currently passed away and my dad was never in my life. Me and my auntie has been getting into alot of arguments and fights and i want to leave. There's my stepfather in the picture and he stays in miami where i am currently from. He's not really my stepfather but he was just my mom's long time boyfriend. My aunt says she's not going to court to miss work just to get me out of her house, she says if i can get out there without making her miss work she is down for it. But she also doesnt want me to stay wit my stepdad because in the pass he has told my family that i disrespected him. But now he wants me to stay with him. i was looking at temporary guadianship because since i turn 18 nxt year i thought it would be perfect. I just really need help. Also i wanted to know how old do you have to be to enroll yourself in a Miami-dade public school. Also how much do the temporary guardianship process called.

Sorry Miya but this process isn't going to happen without your auntie going to court. Since she isn't gonna do it, your gonna have to sit tight until you turn 18. The process isn't quick anyway and in all likelihood you will be 18 first. Thats also assuming that the court would even grant guardianship to a non relative. You've not stated anything other than your arguements (as far as it being a safe environment). Hang tight, this year will go by faster than you can imagine.

But how is that when all she did was go to probate court got legal guardianship of us when before my mother even got into her sick phase. All she had to do was get my mom signature overnight and the deal was done........

No one on this site can tell you what happened and what your mother did. You are going to need your aunts help if you want to do this, I don't see anyway around it. It may have seemed that your mother signed a piece of paper and was done with it, but I promise you that it is not that easy.

There is also a huge difference between granting guardianship to an aunt bc mom was termanilly ill parent and granting guardianship to a family friend. Your not in an unsafe environment and shuffling a child around after the loss of a parent isn't in the childs best interest from a psychological point of view. Argueing with adults for a 17 yr old is totally normal behavior and is expected to elevate/escalate during he grieving process.

You can contact the probate court and see what your options are.

Hi I am 17. My is Brandon. I have been having problems wit my aunt and she is now taking her guardianship off me but insists that she would change her guardianship to who ever i picked.

Also my mom use to recieve food stamps for us and now she is controll of that and will not share them with me do she have that right (me and my brother are on the card) Also if she take her guardianship off of me b4 i find someone to take me I have been told that the state could take me is this also true? And last but not least i have a younger brother he loves it up here BUT she has us illegally. what will happen to her if i tell DFACS and most important what will happen to mybrother?
