STANDBY GUARDIAN: Custody of a child can also be obtained without going to court by becoming a Standby Guardian. A standby guardianship is created by having the parents sign a document available from the probate court stating that they are consenting to have the grandparent or relative take guardianship of their child.
Families attend court hearings in probate courts, which typically grant emergency custodian rights to grandparents, then set a second follow-up hearing in a given number of days. For less urgent situations, grandparents follow a formal application process to submit a request asking for guardianship of grandchildren.
