Guardianship is often over a child or an individual who has become incapacitated through age or disability. The guardian has the right to make all decisions concerning the child, and is legally responsible for the child.

This typically includes such things as shelter, education, food and medical care. Guardians also usually manage the finances of the child. Michigan has two types of guardianships: Limited and Full. Determining which one you need depends on the circumstances of the child and the child’s parents.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Q: What is the difference between a limited guardianship and a full guardianship? “][vc_column_text]A: A limited guardianship requires the consent of a legal parent and involves a parenting plan which details the contact and support between a parent and child. Full guardianship is acquired without the consent of a parent and involves a scheduled visit from a worker from Child Protective Services. In addition, no parenting plan is put in involving support or visiting of the child by a parent.
