A: To be awarded guardianship, you need to prove to the Court that the parents are unfit or unavailable to care for the children and that it is in their best interests that you be awarded guardianship. If there is a Children in Need of Protective Services action pending, you will also need to persuade the supervising agency that you are appropriate candidates for guardianship.
