What is the name of your state? ca
and maybe this is a power of attorney thing?
My brother was granted custody of my niece in Aug. and they both live with my husband and myself (she's doing great, BTW-gonna take care of her aunt in her old age-lol)-he has joint legal, sole physical-
Mom is homeless, has no contact number and uses a PO box for any mailings.
I'm wondering about things like if something should happen, (God forbid) to my niece, like at school or even here at home, and dad cant be reached right away----can I legally act on his (dads) behalf?
Should the need arise, is there a way for me to sign, lets say, medical treatment papers for her should dad not be available right away?
There really is no way to get a hold of BM and she refuses to facilitate any kind of communication about her daughter with dad-
Just trying to be prepared-
