  My ex-husband and I are co-guardians for my 21 year old daughter with Down Syndrome. She currently lives with him but he wants to place her in a group home. I want her to live with me. Do I have a say in where she lives? Can I block him moving her into a group home?

  Why does he want to place her in a group home? So that she may learn skills necessary to living on her own someday? Why are you against it?

  There are no terms in the guardianship court papers. I don't think she needs to live in a group home at this point because, 1...she doesn't want to. She also wants to live with me and 2...she doesn't need to. She will have more opportunities to live a normal life living with family. She is not severely disabled. She functions quite well.

  So why is your ex against her living with you? WHY does he insist on her living in a group home?

• What do the terms of the guardianship provide?

• If there is no provision to help resolve disputes, you'll need to ask the court to do so. The court would have to weigh such considerations as which living environment is the least confining, and which is best for her development and future independence.

• Is the guardianship through the courts? In what state? What do the terms of the guardianship provide?
