Guardianship

imjin138 · Dec 20, 2010

Back on December 6th, my wife and received legal guardianship of our oldest daughter, she will be 18 in a week. She is Autistic with Aspberger's syndrome and we wanted to be sure that she was taken care of.

The whole process was pretty easy, just a bit odd she was there and testified the judge left her the right to vote and get a fishing license everything else is up to us, mostly it was done because of the medical decisions that have to be made in the future.

She is going to graduate from high school on time, and we will help her find a small job she can do to keep her busy.

Years ago in california I had similar with a mentaly challanged nephew. His dad died young and sister had 6 kids. For whatever unexplained reason 3 of the 6 had mental issues from brith. It struck them at pubity. I stepped in and took two of them on. With one I was his social security payee and handeled his affairs, paid the rent etc. He died on me in 2004 at about age 42.
From my experiances I urge you to keep accurate accounts of finances. Every once in awhile with no sechuel, the goverment will want to look at your bank statments if you are handeling it.
Good luck. I was raised in wisconsin too.

Glad the process went smoothly... you know how the gub'ment and the courts can muck things up!

Congrats to her on finishing high school, and planning to work. I have two nephews who are autistic, and I doubt either of them will ever be able to hold even a simple part-time job.
