It's Official, I've lost my mind

We are officially exploring temporary guardianship of my older niece for next semester. If anyone has experience with this I would LOVE to hear it, since I am LOST!

  • Any particular reason why? I'm sure that affects what all you need to do.
  • She is averaging 70% in school and has become a serious discipline problem at home, that we fear is going to get worse. There is already talk of her repeating the 5th grade.

  • So everyone is in agreement to give it a try? I wouldn't think the paperwork would be too complicated. The rest of it may be a bit of a rollercoaster. I don't have any advice, but good luck! I hope this it gets her back on track.
  • I would consult a family attorney.  Someone who does adoptions and such.  Explain the situation and go from there.

  • No experience in that department, but I agree with Shoe, talk to a family attorney. 

    As for being held-back, we are having this conversation with a couple of my students. The first nine weeks of a school year are basically a repeat of what they did in the previous year. If a student fails the first nine weeks, they have already set themselves up to fail the year, because it is hard to pull up the yearly average if the first nine weeks is failed. She will need a lot of support to make sure that she doesn't fail, if she doesn't want to be held back.
