How do I change my guardian?
If you need to appoint a new guardian, you’ll need a Petition to Appoint Successor Guardian, an Order Appointing Successor Guardian, consent from all parties and the proper notices. If a guardian is no longer needed, you’ll need a Petition to Terminate Guardianship and an Order Terminating Guardianship.
What happens when you give up guardianship?
Automatic Termination of Guardianship: Child is Emancipated Emancipation means that the child has petitioned the court to be ruled an adult—if the court grants the petition, the child will be legally an adult, even if they have not reached the age of 18. If the child is emancipated, the guardianship will be terminated.
How do I get my guardian custody back?
Unlike adoption, parents will retain a legal relationship with the child even though someone else is taking care of their child. Parents can get their guardianship rights back either by revoking the original guardianship or asking for a court order to that effect, depending on the circumstances.
