Many single parents are confronted with the same problem…you
don't want the co-parent to be guardian of your children on your
death.
Unfortunately, unless there is good cause, the co-parent will be
granted custody of your children on your death.
A good cause could be that the co-parent legally abandoned the
child or children therefore relinquishing there parental
responsibility. Alternatively the co-parent may be deemed an
unsuitable parent, but this is generally quite difficult to prove
without significant issues such as clear alcohol or drug abuse or
mental health issues. If any of these issues arise, you may appoint
someone else as guardian to your children but be aware of potential
custody conflicts arising!
