FAQ

A parent of a minor may appoint a guardian of an unmarried minor by will, subject to the right of the minor under section 15-5-203, Idaho Code. The termination of parental rights of a parent as to the minor shall also terminate the right of that parent to appoint a guardian for the minor.

In Idaho, the parent of an incapacitated person or the spouse of a married incapacitated person can appoint a guardian by will. The appointment by a spouse has priority over an appointment by a parent.

No. A parent may not refuse to allow or cut back the other parent's visitation with the children simply because the other parent has not paid his/her child support. Payment of child support and visitation are legally independent matters. Both parents have the right to have a meaningful relationship with their children.

In all cases, either a hearing on the temporary guardianship or on the petition for guardianship itself must be held within ninety (90) days of the filing of any petition for guardianship of a minor. (d) The temporary guardian's authority may not exceed six (6) months unless extended for good cause.

Idaho Statutes (1) A guardianship terminates upon the death of the ward or upon order of the court. (2) On petition of a ward, a guardian, or another person interested in the ward's welfare, the court may terminate a guardianship if the ward no longer needs the assistance or protection of a guardian.

To become a child's guardian, you have to show a judge that you are qualified to be the child's guardian and that a guardianship is in the best interest of the child. You also have to show the court that the child's parents have abused, neglected or abandoned the child or cannot provide a stable home environment.

In every state, guardians are appointed by the court. There are no default guardians in Idaho. The only exception to this can be seen with natural guardians. Parents are natural guardians for their children and need no court appointment.

The ward or the guardian may die. Sometimes the guardian will ask the court to end the guardianship because the ward no longer needs a guardian. When a minor child reaches the age of 18, the guardianship ends.
