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.
Typically, states will only consider a grandparent's child custody wishes if the child's parents or legal guardians are deemed unfit. Some states are more restrictive and require that both parents be deceased before grandparents are eligible for child custody (or conservatorship).
