A look at how to get a free guardian to care for your children in Canada
A free guardian is a person who has not been formally appointed to care after birth.
It is the most common form of guardianship in Canada and can be obtained in a number of different ways, including by a court order, court order under the Canadian Human Rights Act or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
But for some families who are not entitled to a court-appointed guardian, a temporary guardian may be able to help them out.
The Globe and Mail’s team of guardians and legal experts spoke to experts, lawyers, family members, and advocates about how to best go about getting a free guardianship.
