When choosing a guardian for your children, consider the following:
• The proposed guardian’s existing relationship with your children.
• The proposed guardian’s willingness to accept the responsibility.
• The existing family and living situation of the potential guardian, and whether he has children of his own, as well as their ages.
• Whether the potential guardian lives in the same or a different state.
• Whether you anticipate that the proposed guardian will maintain relationships with both sides of the family; and whether the potential guardian can meet the physical and emotional demands of being a guardian.
