What happens if I sign over guardianship to my daughter’s grandparents?
I recently moved out of state and I hate the fact my daughter doesn’t get to see her whole family anymore. Her grandfather asked me to sign over guardianship to him so that we could alternate having my child every month, without having to worry about medical coverage. Also, so she can still have the stability from her family.

Before you sign any guardianship papers regarding your daughter with respect to her grandfather, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about your intent, desires and potential adverse effects of the stated document so that one can be drafted by a competent attorney to cover your expectations.

Hence, all the more reason for you to first consult with a family law attorney before you sign any document on the subject that you are writing about.
