Default Guardianship?

Does anyone here know anything about guardianship? My SIL has her hands full as a single mother with four children. She and the oldest don't get along well, even though she's a good kid. She comented yesterday that she would send her to her fathers if she could.

The father is not in the picture. She does not visit with him and from what I know she was never really met him in her 13 years. I'm not sure if he's paying his support or not.

My husband and I were talking and I said that when she said she'd send her to her dad's if she could...I wanted to say "We'll take her!" DH agreed that if she was having a hard time that she could come and live with us.

But he was wondering how things would work. Like insurance. The mom does not have insurance where she works so I'm sure the children have some kind of medacad type insurance from like the state or something. So how would that work, since my husband makes pretty good money and we have insurance. I know that she could not be on ours if she was not adopted. Which I know would not be the case.

Does anyone know anything about this??

First off, is your SIL willing to try therapy with her daughter first to see if they can work it out? It would be great if she could work things out with her so maybe they could avoid some abandonment issues with the child.

I have guardianship of DD. I had co-guardianship for 10 years with her BM until she died last year and now I have full guardianship. DD has Medical. Her BM was poor and undocumented and had AIDS as does DD. DD is still on Medical. I could put her on my health insurance plan but can't really afford it. My understanding is that you can put a child you have guardianship of on your insurance. I have had supplemental insurance on DD, etc. Once you have guardianship they are considered a dependent and you can put them on your health insurance and claim them on your taxes.

Good luck. I hope it works out the best for all of you.
