yes I know that, thats why it was a question. people dont need to go to court to me their parents guardians/ caretakers anymore. it can be a situation where the parents understand they can not live alone and chose their oldest child or choose which child is more able to help take care of them. my wifes parents can not live on their own. their doctor asked then to fill out papers of which of their children were going to be responsible for making their decisions , who the doctors need to contact first, ... years ago they chose my wife for her mothers representative and my wife's brother for my wife's fathers representative. doing things this way is called advanced directives. my wife and I also have signed advance directives that names two family members to be in control should either one of us become unable to make our own decisions , the first on our advance directives is each other and I have chosen a relative.

thats what I meant when I asked....

I take it your sister is your parents guardians and caretakers?

rereading the posts in this thread its the sister the hospital called to take the mother, (evidence no one told open eyes his mother had been released.) sisnter decides who visits parents, who calls parents and how long the visits and calls are)

my suggestions about the court process was a way to get this changed. if the parents cant live on their own then the parents have to live with someone (open eyes or sister) by going to court open eyes can show why he / she doesnt agree with the sister and instead of sister or parents the court will decide what is best for the parents. it was a suggestion since open eyes is not happy with the present arrangements and according to the posts the sister has all the control. this is a way for open eyes to take his/ her control back. actually apply for visitation actually gain the parents residing with him/her/ them/
