services if the child has special educationaI needs. You should heIp the child in setting and attaining his or her
educational goals.
d. Residence - As guardian, you have the right to determine where the child lives. The child will normally live
with you, but when it is necessary, you are allowed to make other arrangements if it is in the best interest of
the child. You should obtain court approval before placing the child back with his or her parents.
As guardian, you do not have the right to change the child's residence to a place outside of California unless
you first receive the court's permission. If the court grants permission, California law requires that you
