Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the limits of person-guardianship when there is a custodian?
- The custodian handles daily care, residence, food, and drink. The person-guardian decides major matters like school, travel, and medical treatment. Any interference in daily care requires strong justification.
- Can the mother be person-guardian over the child?
- Originally no, even if she is custodian. She becomes person-guardian only if the father has died with no paternal grandfather, the father's guardianship was judicially removed, or he willed it before death.
- Can the guardian force a religion or sect on the child?
- The guardian decides religion and sect before the child reaches majority. After majority, the adult chooses for themselves. Extreme psychologically harmful interference may be grounds for removal.
