Definition of 'Natural Guardian'
A child's parent. In divorce situations, the parent with custody is considered the natural guardian. The opposite of a natural guardian is an appointed guardian or legal guardian, who must be authorized by a court or a will to care for and make decisions on behalf of a minor child. Of particular concern are financial and medical decisions; since minor children generally do not have legal authority to make such decisions, their natural or legal guardian must authorize them.
