Grandparents and other relatives who care for children often face legal issues, whether it is dealing with custody or guardianship, or simply getting a child medical care.

Do you know whether you need to be the legal guardian of your grandchildren? We can help answer that question.

If you are raising a grandchild or a minor relative in Arizona, you will need formal custody to obtain benefits such as healthcare or to enroll the child in school. Duet has partnered with the Children’s Law Center (Volunteer Lawyers Program) to provide this FREE clinic to help you complete the proper paperwork. A volunteer attorney will guide you through a guardianship petition, provide legal advice, and answer questions regarding uncontested guardianship.

Reservations are required. Contact Patricia at (602) 274-5022, x 120.

Date: Friday, February 8, 2019
Time: 3 – 5 p.m.

Grandparents, have we prepared our teens for middle-and-high-school relationships? It is important to have ongoing conversations about selfesteem, body image, your family’s values and what’s ahead for our grandchildren as their hormones start – or continue – raging.

Start the talk now and keep the conversation going through the teen years.
