Also, legal guardianship does not necessarily give certain rights to the child- such as access to health insurance. So if partner A wants to stay home and raise the child, partner B cannot add the child to their work health insurance plan (unless the place of employment has domestic partnership health insurance). Normally, only adopted, bilogical, and those children under a court order can be added to company health insurance.
