    Default Guardianship for School Admission

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: California

    I need to transfer the guardianship of my child to my brother. He lives a better school district. My question is, can I simply transfer the guardianship to my brother for the sake of school admission? There is no other issue involved in terms of illness of a parent or ability to take care of the child.

    To explain the issue a bit more, the school has a lottery system. His child has already been admitted to the school on basis of the lottery. Can I transfer the guardianship so that my child can also get in the same school on account of being a sibling?

    Thanks,
    caparent

    You can transfer guardianship for any lawful purpose.

    You will have to investigate the school's policies on admissions. Being a ward does not make you a sibling of the guardian's children.

    Hi. I'm in Texas and my grandson is in New Jersey. My daughter wants to transfer legal guardianship, but doesnt know how to do it. There is no abuse or neglect going on, but I'm in a better position to provide medical for him and to provide care while she tries to get on her feet. Can someone please tell me how we should go about giving me guardianship when the child will leave the state? (to me)

    Does the child's father agree?
