STANDBY GUARDIAN: Custody of a child can also be obtained without going to court by becoming a Standby Guardian. A standby guardianship is created by having the parents sign a document available from the probate court stating that they are consenting to have the grandparent or relative take guardianship of their child.
In these states, it is sometimes only possible for a grandparent to get visitation rights in certain circumstances, like if one of the parents has died. The remainder of the states generally have more permissive laws that allow the granting of grandparent visitation rights even if all the parents are alive.
