This guide can help you:

• Understand what a guardian does
• Become a probate guardian
• Respond (object) if someone started a court case to become your child's guardian
• End a guardianship 
• Ask for visitation rights, as a parent, in a guardianship 

After you file your papers, you have to give notice to the child's family members and certain other persons about the case and court date. You may also need to let the child and other adults in the child's life know about the case. To let them know, you must have someone deliver a copy of the court papers to them (called serving court papers).
