Do you need consent from both parents to get guardianship of a minor?

The person seeking guardianship must petition the court with reason and evidentiary documents as to why guardianship is necessary and why they are qualified to be appointed the legal guardian of the minor in question. Both biological parents must voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and agree to the guardianship or the court must terminate parental rights of both or of the parent who does not wish to give up his or her rights to their child.

Sometimes implied consent is sufficient: if, for example, the birth father does not support the birth mother emotionally and financially through her pregnancy, and does not involve himself in the life of the child after birth, he can have his rights terminated through implied consent. This isn't always the case, and the law on this varies a bit from state to state.
