In some states one parent can seek guardianship independent of the other: divorced parents do not have to be co-guardian unless the divorce decree so provides. However, a guardianship should not be awarded to one parent without the other signing a Waiver of Right to Appointment.
In no state can a guardian restrict the person's access to the other parent or to other people unless that person has abused or exploited the person under guardianship in the past.
Contact a local guardianship lawyer to address these errors.
