Guardianship of a minor is a legal process that gives an adult who is not the child’s parent authority to care for and to make decisions on behalf of the child. A parent who consents to a guardianship has not necessarily given up all parental rights. The child’s legal parents typically retain the obligation to financially support their child and can normally terminate the guardianship at any time. Removal of a guardianship occurs when one or both of the parents is no longer unfit to care for the child and can resume their caretaking role.
