Replacing the guardian of a minor
You may have decided that a relative should be guardian of your children because you were not able or available to take care of them. You may have agreed that the relative should be appointed guardian by signing an assent to the guardianship, or a judge may have appointed the relative to be the guardian for your child without your agreement.
Now, after some time has passed, you may not think the guardian is making the best decisions for your child. This article explains how to request that the court remove the current guardian to appoint a new guardian.
