How does the court keep track of the guardian and the minor?
There are two ways.
- The judge can put an order in the guardianship decree saying that the guardian must notify the court in writing of changes of address or telephone number. There is a place on page two of the decree form where the judge checks a box ordering the guardian to report address and telephone number changes within 30 days.
- Once a year the guardian of the minor must file a report to the court concerning the minor's condition. The court has a 3 page annual report form for the guardian to fill out.
