My question involves guardianship in the State of: Indiana - Lake County
My 14 yr old cousin lives with me, I've had temporary guardianship since April of 2008. My school district won't let her go to school unless I have a court signed document stating that I have guardianship, I have the temp guardian papers noterized and another paper that the lake county school board said was ok, but my district says they are not. She hasn't been enrolled in any school since April, and school is about to start again and I want her in it this year.
The parents are willing to give me guardianship, but going through a lawyer costs like $1200 and we can't afford that, but make too much money for a pro bono lawyer.
Since it is a no contest (both parents are willing to sign over guardianship) case, do I have to have a lawyer?
and if not, does anyone know what forms I need and where I can get them?
Thank You![]()
