| | | Legal Guardan
My state is Alabama
MY question is that if I get Legal custody of my 2 gradchildern, ages 6 and 3, can I get them on my disibility social security check ?
They live in my house now and both parents have left them to presue their addicitions and I have them willing to give me legal guardianship.
thank you |

| | | Guardianship is different than custody. Please clarify which they are willing to give you.

Guardianship is revocable and temporary and is put in place by a court order and revoked upon submission to the court of a revocation. Custody is permanent and takes a court order to change it and even then it is ONLY upon a substantial change of circumstance in your life or the children's life. Both take a court order to make it so.
