Temporary Legal Guardianship

[prudens]

Arkansas.

I am 20 years old and I have an 11 year old brother who will be staying with me for about a month. My parents need to travel out side of country to attend to some matters but will be back in a month.

I need to attend this conference which explicitly states that persons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent.

So my question is, do I qualify to be his "parent" for the time being, and if so, how? And when I do become his "parent," will the conference accept my temporary "parentship"? If not, how do I enforce my new temporary status upon the conference?

The conference is to be held in another state.

Thanks

Find a sitter...

No seriously, is this the best free legal advice you can give? My 16 year old sister could've said that.

it's actually a very simple answer to a very simple problem.

you could have mom and dad sign over a POA. call the conference coordinator and see if that would suffice.

But the problem is,... they'll be gone for a month.

Where can we find babysitters for 1 month?

What if I am the babysitter?

If I had a POA or a notarized Temporary Guardianship form signed,


(1). Is it to the discretion of the conference people to accept it or not?

(2). Is it lawful for anyone to not accept a legal document such as POA/ notarized Temporary Guardianship form?

(3). How can I enforce the law if they don't accept it?

yes. they can tell you and sibling to get lost.

absolutely. sone schools will not accept an AOP. they may want a court signed guardianship form.

3). How can I enforce the law if they don't accept it?

you don't enforce laws. the police and legal system does.

why can't you get a babysitter for the time you need to be at the conference?
