Approval of standby guardian without designation —

Official statutory text

Approval of alternate standby guardian.

A. If no designation for a standby guardian has been completed

by a qualified parent, upon petition of any person, the district

court of the jurisdiction in which a child resides may approve a

person as standby guardian for a child of a qualified parent upon

the occurrence of a triggering event. If requested in the petition,

the court may also approve an alternate standby guardian identified

by the petitioner, to act in the event that at any time after

approval pursuant to this section the standby guardian is unable or

unwilling to assume the responsibilities of the standby

guardianship.

B. The petition shall state:

1. The name and address of the petitioner and his relationship

to the child and the name and address of the child’s qualified

parent, and the name and address of any other parent of the child

whose identity and whereabouts are known to the petitioner or can

reasonably be ascertained;

2. The name, address and birthdate of the child;

3. The triggering event;

4. The name and address of the person proposed as standby

guardian and any alternate and whether the petition requests that

such person be given authority as a guardian of the person or

guardian of the property of the minor, or both;

5. A statement of any known reasons as to why the child’s other

parent is not assuming or should not assume responsibility for the

child; and

6. Whether there is any prior judicial history regarding

custody of the child or any pending litigation regarding custody of

the child.
