Legal Guardianship Process India
Summary
In Maharashtra, to become a legal guardian, file a petition at the local family court with necessary documents like marriage and birth certificates. An affidavit stating your relationship and intention is required. Legal guardianship grants rights and responsibilities but doesnt change legal parentage like adoption does. Legal fees can range from ₹20,000 to ₹50,000. A lawyer can assist, but self-filing is possible. After court approval, a Guardianship Order is issued, legally recognizing you as the guardian.Full Conversation

is this same as adoption certificate?
Case Rating: *
No, a Guardianship Order is not the same as an adoption certificate. Guardianship gives you legal rights and responsibilities for the child, but it doesn't change the child's birth certificate or legal parentage. Adoption, on the other hand, legally makes you the parent and changes the child's legal status.
