There are many types of situations where a parent is unable to fulfill his or her responsibilities to his or her child. In these situations, other family members often step in temporarily to ensure the child is being properly cared for while the parent or parents focus on correcting whatever situation is preventing them from being able to provide for their child.

RELATIVES STEPPING UP TO CARE FOR A CHILD DESERVE SUPPORT

Grandparents, aunts, uncles and others with close relations to a family are often depended upon to provide a safe and stable environment when a parent cannot give a child the care he or she needs. Fulfilling that role often requires some degree of legal recognition of the role that surrogate is filling.

Guardianship provides that legal recognition. Becoming a guardian allows a person to make choices for a child that only the parent would otherwise be able to make regarding issues like:

Education
Health care
