What do you do if you need emergency guardianship of a minor child?

First, we need to establish why emergency guardianship is needed.

Some examples of when guardianship is necessary includes

• The child's parents are incapacitated, 
• The child's parents are incarcerated, 
• The child's parent has given up their parental rights, 
• The courts revoked the parent's rights and need to place the child in a different environment, 
• The child(ren) are in unsafe or neglectful environments.

 

And who is involved?

• The child(ren), 
• The parent(s), 
• Any other relatives or parties willing to help, 
• Any state agencies.
  
  

This can be extremely complicated in normal situations, much less under an Oklahoma State of Emergency. But regardless of the current state of affairs, a child's well-being must be protected, especially if they may be, or already are, in harm's way.
