Q: hello i just need a professional opinion on a question real quick, so im going through a guardianship case and when our
children were placed in the care of my girlfriends sister and brother in law my girlfriend and i had the same criminal lawyer but he stood in for both sides in our child case so was with us and against us? is that a conflict of interest which should result in a reversal of guardianship
A:
An attorney would have filed an appearance for either the Guardian or the parents. There will be a copy of the Entry of Appearance in the court file.
To terminate a guardianship, it can either be terminated by agreement, or if the parties don't agree, if the parents can prove the guardianship is no longer necessary.
Best place to start is to meet with an attorney so they can help you sort this out. Once the attorney has a handle on what has happened they will be able to explain your best path forward.
I wish you the best of luck with your case.
