GUARDIANSHIP
Providing Legal Protection for Minors in Need
At Document Divas, we understand how important it is to ensure the safety, stability, and well-being of a child when their parent or legal guardian is unable to care for them. Whether due to illness, absence, incarceration, or other life circumstances, guardianship allows another responsible adult to step in and make crucial decisions for a minor. We specialize in preparing all the legal paperwork needed to establish guardianship in California—offering families peace of mind during uncertain times.
Our team is based in Concord, California, and we proudly offer remote services to clients across the state. You can count on us to make the legal document preparation process smooth, accurate, and stress-free—so you can focus on caring for the child who needs you most. While we are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, we ensure your paperwork is ready for filing and meets the court’s requirements.
What Is Legal Guardianship?
Legal guardianship is a court-ordered arrangement where an adult who is not the child’s parent is granted legal authority to make decisions on behalf of a minor. This includes decisions about schooling, medical care, housing, and general welfare. Guardianship can be temporary or long-term and may be initiated by relatives, family friends, or others who are close to the child.
Having a legal guardianship in place helps protect the child’s future by creating a structured and legally recognized caregiving relationship. It also helps avoid unnecessary conflict or confusion about who is responsible for the child’s needs.

When Guardianship May Be Needed
You may need to establish guardianship in situations such as:

- A parent is unable to care for their child due to illness, substance abuse, incarceration, or deployment.
- A child is being raised by a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or family friend.
- There is no legal documentation in place for a caregiver to make school or medical decisions.
- There is concern for the child’s safety or well-being in their current living situation.
Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you move forward with compassion and efficiency.
