A parent or sibling. Other than that the courts would make any decisions. * The ex-spouse if he or she is the biological parent of said children, a divorce does not invalidate parental rights. If that were not possible the next of kin in progression would be an acceptable adult sibling of the minor children, maternal grandparent(s), paternal grandparent(s). If none of those applied the court would request voluntary guardian petitions from the siblings of either or both biological parents. Appointed Godparents do not have automatic legal custodial rights as is sometimes believed.
