What is the name of your state? Nevada
Grampa and I are legal guardians of our almost 3 year old grandson, whom we have cared for since he was one and have had guardianship for almost 1 year. The father and my daughter have never divorced (good plan,huh) and we don't know where the father is....his last contact was 1 year ago. We want to change the little guy's last name to ours, as we will be raising him, also we want information on terminating the parental rights of the father. Mom is still in almost daily contact although she lives in a different state. Any advice is appreciated
