kann mir jemand sagen, was der Unterschied zwischen "Guardianship" und "Custody" im Bezug auf Vormundschaft (insbesondere in den USA; wann benutzt man was?) ist.
Legal custody is a similar status to guardianship, but is usually bestowed by a different court that has different procedures. Guardianship is usually granted by a probate court, whereas a family court grants legal custody. Also, the status of "guardian" may often facilitate access to more services and rights than "legal custodian." Consider, for example, how many times one reads or hears the phrase "parent or guardian" without any mention of "legal custodian." It is important to consider the differences among guardian or legal custodian in the state where the relative-headed family lives.
