Can parents or legal guardians change the childs standby guardian?
Yes. Parents or legal guardians can change their mind about who will be the child’s standby guardian at any time. The way to change the standby guardianship depends on how the standby guardianship was created in the first place. If the standby guardianship was created informally, without going to court (as described earlier in step One), the parent or legal guardian can just notify the standby guardian by telling him or her that they have changed their mind. If the standby guardianship was created formally, by going to court (as described in step Two), then the parent or legal guardian must go back to court and file a notice telling the court that they want to change the standby guardian. Then they must also immediately tell the standby guardian that the notice has been filed and that he or she is no longer the standby guardian. Do the rights of the parents end when a standby guardian is chosen for their child? No. The rights of parents are not ended when a standby guardian is chosen.
