    Unhappy Can We Get Guardianship of Our Granddaughter

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: California
    My husband was contacted 5 1/2 years ago by a 24 year old & after DNA tests was determined to be her father. 4 1/2 years ago she moved in with us with her 18 month old daughter. She recently got heavily into drugs and entered rehab 60 days ago. Because of the state aid she receives she must spend 6 months to 1 year in resident treatment. We have cared for her 6 year old until last week when she got mad at us and punished us by having her child move into the treatment center with her. We do not feel this is a good environment for the child and the child is very upset and unhappy living there. Is there any chance we can petition for temporary guardianship until her mother can get her own place?

    It's easy enough to petition - forms are here. The rest, a court will decide.
