A voluntary or involuntary guardianship may be established when parents are unable to care for their minor children on their own. Typical guardians are grandparents or other family members. Whether contested or uncontested, Guardianships are established in private proceedings which are closed to the public.

The guardianship of a child in Oklahoma is very similar to having child custody. Legal guardianship empowers the guardian to make the legal decisions for the child regarding education, health care, religion, and his/her general welfare. Being a guardian means taking on massive responsibilities. Legal counsel is highly advised being that many documents must be filed, and the qualifications of the potential guardian must be checked.
