Under a Yurok family law guardianship, the guardian has the same responsibilities to care for the child as a parent would. The guardian has full legal and physical custody of the child and can make all the decisions about the physical care of the child that a parent would make.

(a) The guardian is responsible for the child’s care, including the child’s:

(1) Food, clothing and shelter;

(2) Safety and protection;

(3) Physical and emotional growth;

(4) Medical and dental care;

(5) Education and any special needs.

(b) The guardian is also responsible for supervision of the child and may be liable for any intentional damage the child may cause. [Ord. 50 § 14.4, adopted, 3/23/2017.]
