Empower Your Child's Future: SKILLED Guardianship Representation

There are different circumstances where it may be necessary to have a temporary or permanent guardian for a minor child. If you are planning to petition the court for minor guardianship, you may need an attorney who can help you understand the limitations, as well as the legal requirements.


The Law Office of Carlee K. Bliss understands these situations can be challenging and are often needed because a parent is not acting in the best interest of their children or is unable to care for them. In these situations, it is critical to have sound legal advice.


The process of seeking guardianship is fraught with challenges. Custodial and non-custodial parents can object, as can other members of the child’s family. Minor Guardianship is only approved when it is in the best interests of a child and neither parent is willing or able to perform parental duties. It is important that your claim is evaluated before you file documents with the court to ensure your case is presented appropriately to the court.
