He also discussed the rights and duties of those who are Guardians and a recent Supreme Court case which set out the standards on the issue.

It is important to understand that guardianship does not equate to custody or access . Guardianship involves responsibility for decision-making on broad childcare matters – such as choice of school or chosie of religion.
Issues such as custody, access and primary carer will also arise on separation.
