QUESTION: Could a grandmother get guardianship of her grandchild if she is an illegal immigrant in the united states?
MY RESPONSE:
If the child's grandmother demonstrates that she is qualified to be the child's guardian, the Court can grant her petition for guardianship of the child.
The closeness and stability of the relationship between the grandmother and the grandchild are important factors that the Court will consider in awarding guardianship rights.
The fact that the grandmother is an illegal immigrant will likely not prevent her from becoming her grandchild's guardian unless she is at imminent risk of being deported.
