It is one of two men but shes not sure so we are unable to go any further into the adoption process until we know which one is the father is. So heres my question, can we get legal gaurdianship of the unborn baby to assure that we are taking the baby home with us from the hospital? We are scared that if the baby has to go home with her until a paternity test is done that she might change her mind. please help me understand our rights or even if we have any. thanks, kly Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:58:23 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/my-ex-wife-died---i-have-our-two-children---but-wh-167430.html She was not remarried, but was living w someone who has kept the house and her belongings and won't let us in to collect the kids toys, clothes, etc. Now we need to pay the funeral expenses, but the life insurance company wants me to show them legal guardianship papers so that i can get her life insurance and pay the bill. Do the children have a legal right what belongs to her. The house, car, everything was in her name alone. And if so, how do I go about this.
