Q: How do I terminate permanent guardianship? Child is uncontrollable because birth mother is encouraging bad behavior! Etc
He’s bullying 93 yr old in home causing my 5yr old grandson I’ve adopted to break down. He’s refusing to do schoolwork stealing taking off etc. I’ve called many agencies only to get one offering referral for counseling. This child needs a one on one situation that I can’t provide. I’m single disabled grandmother and I definitely don’t have enough money to pay thousands for lawyers. I was appointed permanent guardianship by DCF no their not helping. I’m not related. I don’t want him to end up being in jail or worse as an adult. He needs more help than I can provide since my son was killed and I’ve adopted my grandson. I can’t give him 1;1 that he needs
A: You would need to file a motion to terminate the guardianship. I would highly recommend that you contact an attorney to assist you if this is what you want to do. If you can, it would be best if you could find someone else to take over the guardianship of the child and that way you can file a motion requesting to change the guardian. Reason I mention this is that if you request to terminate the guardianship and there is no one else to take the child, the child may be placed in the foster system. Again, I would highly recommend contacting an attorney to assist you.
