You are here: Families & Children > Guardianship (Probate Court) > Becoming a Guardian of a Child > What happens before the court date? > What will the judge do?
If the child's parents agree to the guardianship, a judge may order a guardianship if it is necessary or convenient.
If 1 or both of the parents objects to the guardianship, a judge will order a guardianship only if:
- Staying with the parents or 1 of the parents will be detrimental to the child, and
- The guardianship will be in the best interest of the child.
