    Default Utah law for emancipation and guardianship

    Hello,

    I am a very concerned ex of somone who lives in Utah. I have 2 children of my own and own my own home in Ca. We broke up about 2 months ago due to his moodiness, and all sorts of other reasons including impulsivave behaviors and taking his anger out on me and his own children. He has 2 sons. One of them wanted to go live with one of his friends in utah after our breakup. THe parents of the friend said it was ok with them. The boy is 16 1/2. My ex said he would call the police on him, and wouldn't give permission. Is there anything he can do?

    Is there anything I can do? He mentioned even comming and going to highschool here in ca. and living with my kids and I. He and my son are pretty close as well. His mother went to austraila 9 years ago and hasn't been heard of sence. He really seems to be missing that mother thing which I wanted to give him, and stability but that didn't work out. It has all of us very hearbroken.
    Please advise.
    Thankyou

    Default Re: Utah law for emancipation and guardianship

    It was noted in this thread on Utah Emancipation Law that Utah has no emancipation statute, but it nonetheless appears possible to obtain emancipation through a juvenile court. It does not seem likely that a guardianship would be granted, as you don't indicate anything which would likely be found to constitute parental unfitness, and courts are loathe to let third parties interfere in parent-child relationships.
