A court is not required to follow the provisions regarding guardianship set forth in a will. Especially if there is a biological parent who might object or other persons who might object that the named guardian would not be the best placement for the child. The guardian will ultimately need to be approved and appointed by the court in order for it to be legal.

However, it is always a good idea to name a guardian in a will if there are minor children. The court may well approve a grandmother as legal guardian.

What happens to child support payments if the mother dies and the child will not live with the father?

In simplest terms, the child support goes with the child. Most often it is not a matter of the child's choice with whom he will live. If the father has been making child support payments to the mother, and the mother dies, but the father still retains parental rights, the child automatically goes to the father's custody. If the mother has made guardian arrangements and the father has agreed to these (signed off), then the child support payments will automatically revert to the named guardian. It might require some adjustment on the part of the courts, but it is pretty automatic. If the father for what ever reason has lost parental rights, and the custodial mother has not named a guardian, the child will be placed with the next nearest relative, or if one cannot be located or none suitable are available be placed in foster care and the child support will go to the state. Child support follows the child.

Who gets the child when parent dies?

Parents of minor children should always have a will that names a guardian for their children. The guardianship must be approved by the court and the court will appoint the named guardian unless there are reasonable objections to that appointment. If no guardian was named in a will a family member willing to take the responsibility can petition to be appointed the guardian.
