Michigan Order of Investigation and Notice of Hearing on Guardianship of Indian Child is a process used by the state of Michigan to ensure the safety and well-being of children of Native American descent. This process requires an investigation to determine whether a guardianship of an Indian child is necessary and whether the proposed guardians meet certain requirements, such as being able to provide a safe and stable home environment. The investigation also includes a Notice of Hearing to provide an opportunity for any interested parties to raise objections or provide relevant evidence. Once the investigation is complete, the court will decide whether to grant guardianship of the Indian child. There are two types of Michigan Order of Investigation and Notice of Hearing on Guardianship of Indian Child: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary guardianship is granted when both the parent and proposed guardian agree and sign a form indicating their consent. Involuntary guardianship is granted when the court finds that the parent is unable or unwilling to appropriately care for the child. In such cases, the court may appoint a guardian to provide care and protection for the child.
