I broke up from an awful relationship with an abusive man around 5 years ago. Two years ago I met someone else, we got married and now live with my 13-year-old dd. I keep worrying that if anything happens to me, she will be forced to go back to live with her father and would love some advice on how to go about arranging legal guardianship for her. It's worth also noting that, since I left him, he has only seen dd around 5 times in just over 2 years and pays no maintenance for her whatsoever. If anyone could point me in the right direction to find out what to do, I would really appreciate it.
