I’m not telling you or Kate that it’s impossible, I imagine it can be done. I’m just preparing you for the right pain in the ass it is going to be. And court lawyers are notorious for airing all your dirty laundry if her state appointed guardian chooses to fight against her regaining guardianship over herself. It’s a sticky situaction. I would talk to your P&A about it.

I would also ask what rights a state appointed guardian has, and how much authority do they have legally. That would be a great help to you. If the guardian starts threatening, you could call his/her bluff that way. And perhaps it’s just me, but I always find that immensly satisfying…… Probably one of the reasons some think I’m cold blooded, lol.

I hope this helps. I’m sorry for the cynicism, but not all is bad. Airing dirty laundry can go both ways, and if this guardian has taken upon his/herself more authority over his/her charge than is given to them legally, well, they are SOL.

*hug*

Just curious (and if you’d rather not answer that’s fine, I don’t want to pry), is the guardianship supposed to be a permanent thing for Kate?

If the goal is for Katelyn to one day be independent and her own guardian, then presumably you would only have to worry about boat rocking while the guardianship is in effect.

I skimmed through, so could have missed something, but I was looking for something that might state or imply that a guardian may deny the client’s access to someone the client may wish to communicate with. I could have missed something, but I didn’t find anything that would indicate that it would be within the guardian’s scope of authority.

In fact, I did pay attention to the ‘marriage and divorce’ section. While someone under the care of a guardian was at one point not allowed to marry, that statute was repealed and the guardian must petition the court for authority to prevent marriage.

So unless Kate’s guardian has petitioned the court for said authority, it seems like it would stand to reason that she couldn’t be barred from contact with her fiance. It does leave me kind of scratching my head.
