==Are parents automatically guardians of their child?==
Sometimes. The ''[http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/lc/statreg/11025_01 Family Law Act ]'' says that parents who are living together when their child is born are the child’s guardians until they separate. And in this situation, parents are generally guardians after they separate, as well. But parents who never lived together after their child was born are not guardians unless:
*they are a parent because an assisted reproduction agreement says they are a parent;
*the parent and all of the child's guardians make an agreement that the parent is also a guardian;
