If a person is appointed the legal guardian of a child, they will have the authority and the obligation to make decisions about the care, education, supervision, and medical treatment of the child. When a guardianship is established, the rights of the child’s parents are temporarily suspended. The court in California will grant guardianship if there is clear and commencing evidence that doing so is in the best interests of the child.
