## Title 5. Children

### Subtitle 2. Parent and Child

#### Section 5-201

This subtitle does not affect any law that relates to the appointment of a third person as guardian of the person of a minor child because:

(1) the child's parents are unsuitable; or

(2) the child's interest would be affected adversely if the child remains under the natural guardianship of either of the child's parents.
