Family enhancement was defined by the inquiry as an intervention in which risk is less immediate than for protection cases and in which agencies can provide supports to families to develop secure and nurturing homes for children (Hughes, 2013).
How long does a guardianship last? Once a guardianship is granted by the Probate Court, it remains in effect until the minor reaches the age of 18 or until a petition to terminate the guardianship is granted.
If the child remains in foster care for 15 out of 22 months, in most cases, the law requires the child welfare agency to ask the court to terminate parental rights (end the legal parent/child relationship). During this 15-month period, however, States are required to work to bring parents and children back together.
The county-wide Family Reunification Housing Subsidy (FRHS) provides rapid re-housing and case management services to families in the child welfare system where the parents' homelessness is the sole barrier to the return of the children.
The average time a child stays in foster care is 9-12 months. A child may be in your home for a few weeks, months or even years. The length of stay depends on the needs of the child and his/her parent`s participation in their service program.
The key difference is the child's parentage: custody describes a parent's care of a child, whereas legal guardianship is granted to someone who is not the child's biological parent. In some situations, a child may be under the guardianship of an individual while remaining in the custody of their parents to a degree.
Guardianship of the person is set up because a child is living with an adult who is not a parent, and the adult needs the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of the child. In a Probate Guardianship of the Person, the guardian has full legal and physical custody of the child.
How does reunification work? When children are in foster care, they typically have regular, supervised visits with their parents. As parents progress toward their assigned goals, the reunification process begins with unsupervised visits, overnight visits, and weekend visits.
The child's parents can no longer make decisions for the child while there is a guardianship. The parents' rights are suspended?not terminated?as long as a guardian is appointed for a minor. If you wish, you may ask the parents for their opinions about matters relating to the child.
A guardian of the person or estate can resign. But first, there must be a court hearing. And, you must give notice of the hearing to all relatives who were notified of your appointment as guardian. You must show the Court that it would be in the child's best interest for you to resign.
