GUARDIANSHIP OF A MINOR CHILD
Q AND A
Q.Someone has left a minor child (under age 18) with me, has not returned, and I am caring for this child. What should I do to protect myself and this child?
A.If you know where the parents are, you can ask for them to grant you a Power of Attorney (POA). This is a document that will give you the power to provide for the care of the child. A POA will be good for up to 6 months. The POA should be typed or hand written in ink and should be signed and dated by the parents. If the parents to not want to give you a POA or you cannot find the parents then you may want to contact the Ottawa County Probate Court for information about obtaining guardianship
Q.Are there different types of guardians? What types?
A.The Court can appoint a temporary, full or limited guardian.
Temporary guardianship is granted due to an emergency pending a hearing to appoint a full guardian. This is done on a case by case basis. You may contact the Probate Court to determine if this is appropriate for your case.
A full guardian is a person who cares for a child in place of the parent. The child must be living with the proposed guardian at the time the petition is filed. This type of guardianship can continue up until the child turns 18, but can also be reviewed, modified or terminated by filing a petition to modify or terminate guardianship by the parents, guardians or other interested parties of the child.
Limited guardianship is a guardianship that is established at the request of the custodial parent and includes a limited guardianship placement plan that outlines the efforts that the parent(s) must make before attempting to dissolve the guardianship. The limited guardianship is a temporary suspension of parental rights. If the parents do not complete the requirements of the placement plan the guardians may ask for a termination of parental rights and adoption of the child. Therefore, the parents should be very committed to completing the steps of the placement plan.
Q.What are some of the issues I should consider before trying to obtain guardianship?
A.While guardianships are meant to be temporary, it is entirely possible that you could be taking care of the child until age18. Look carefully at your options and make sure you are willing and able to care for the child on a full time basis. If you think you may need assistance in caring for the child medically
or financially you should contact your local Department of Human Services to inquire about assistance that may be available to you.
Q.What criteria does the Probate Court utilize in deciding who should be a guardian for a minor?
A.The Court is interested in establishing that the candidate does not have a serious criminal record. The Court will want to satisfy itself that the candidate generally understands the responsibilities to be imposed upon them as guardian and that they are committed to looking out for the minor’s best interests and well being.
Q.How do I get the Probate Court to appoint me the guardian of a child?
A.You must file a Petition to Appoint Guardian of a Minor; packets of forms are available at the Probate Court (12120 Fillmore St., West Olive MI 49460) as well as the LSHC (Legal Self Help Center, 414 Washington, Grand Haven MI 49417) or can be completed and printed from the following websites; www.miottawa.org, http://courts.michigan.gov/scao/courtforms/index.htm There is a fee of $150.00 to file per petition (per child). Contact the Court directly with any procedural
Q.What do I do once the forms are completed?
A.You will file all original paperwork with the Probate Court. Please refer to the cover page of the packet of forms you received from the Court or visit our website www.miottawa.org for a copy of the procedural instructions for filing for guardianship of a minor.
Q.What should I expect at my Court hearing?
A.Probate Court hearings are typically scheduled on Mondays and can be scheduled for anytime between 8 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. You should arrive to the Probate Court on time, dressed neatly, and with any and all documents and/or persons you wish to present to the Court. Check in with the clerk at the Probate Court window to let them know that you are present and ready for your hearing. The clerk will then direct you to the appropriate Courtroom. Unless otherwise directed by the Judge, after your hearing you should quietly exit the Courtroom and wait in the lobby while your paperwork is being processed. Once your copies of the documents are prepared they will be presented to you in the lobby by staff.

During the court hearing, you should arrive on time and dress appropriately. Bring all necessary documents and any witnesses you wish to present. After checking in with the court clerk, you will be directed to the appropriate courtroom. Once your hearing is complete, you may need to wait in the lobby while your paperwork is processed. The court staff will provide you with copies of the documents once they are ready.

What are the different types of guardianship available?
The court can appoint different types of guardianship, including:
- Temporary Guardianship: Granted in emergencies, pending a hearing for a full guardian.
- Full Guardianship: A long-term arrangement where the guardian takes over parental responsibilities until the child turns 18.
- Limited Guardianship: Established at the request of a custodial parent, with specific conditions that must be met before the guardianship can be dissolved.
-
What factors does the court consider when appointing a guardian?
The court evaluates several criteria when deciding on a guardian for a minor, including:
- The candidate's criminal history.
- The candidate's understanding of the responsibilities of guardianship.
- The candidate's commitment to the child's well-being and best interests.
These factors help ensure that the child will be placed in a safe and supportive environment.
Misconceptions
- Misconception 1: The Guardianship Indiana form can be submitted without completing all sections.
- Misconception 2: I can file the guardianship petition without paying a fee.
- Misconception 3: I can serve interested parties less than 14 days before the hearing.
- Misconception 4: I do not need to provide proof of service to the Court.
- Misconception 5: Guardianship is a permanent arrangement.
- Misconception 6: I can get legal advice from Court staff.
- Misconception 7: I can file the forms online.
This is not true. All forms must be filled out completely before submission. Incomplete forms can delay the process significantly.
There is a filing fee of $150.00 for each child. This fee must be paid at the time of filing the petition. Failure to pay may result in the rejection of your application.
According to the rules, interested parties must be served at least 14 days before the scheduled hearing if served by regular mail. If serving in person, it must be at least 7 days prior. Not adhering to this timeline can jeopardize your case.
Proof of service is a critical component of the guardianship process. This document informs the Judge that all interested parties have been notified. It must be completed accurately and submitted with your forms.
While guardianships can last until the child turns 18, they are intended to be temporary. The arrangement can be modified or terminated based on the circumstances surrounding the minor's welfare.
This is a common misunderstanding. Court staff are prohibited by law from providing legal advice. If you have legal questions, it is essential to consult with an attorney.
Currently, all original documents must be mailed or delivered in person to the Court. Online submissions are not accepted, so make sure to prepare your documents accordingly.
