Question: I am moving to Florida in a couple months and my 16 year old son wants to go live with his grandmother what do I have to do so she can make decisions for him like medical decisions and decisions about school it is only for a year
Answer: The grandmother can file a petition with the court for guardianship Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, section 14-5204 and claim that your parental right of custody is suspended by circumstances,, but there may be easier and less expensive ways to go. You would be well advised to consult with an attorney and find out exactly what papers you will need.
