Initiating the Process: The process of terminating parental rights in Massachusetts typically begins with a petition filed by a concerned party, such as the other parent, a legal guardian, or the Department of Children and Families (DCF).
To revoke guardianship, file a petition with the family court that granted it, explaining your improved circumstances and reasons for change. Request visitation rights formally if denied. Courts prioritize the childs best interests, so provide evidence of your current stability.
#8212; When a guardian becomes insane or otherwise incapable of discharging his trust or is found thereafter to be unsuitable, or has wasted or mismanaged the property of the ward, or has failed to render an account or make a return for thirty days after it is due, the court may, upon reasonable notice to the guardian
The only ways a legal guardianship can be revoked or changed is if the ward is now competent and can take care of themselves and files a petition in the local probate court to have it dissolved or if someone else files a petition and asks to have a guardian removed and another one appointed.
How long does a temporary guardianship last? A temporary guardianship lasts up to 90 days but may be extended if necessary. If the permanent guardianship hearing is not held within 90 days, it is your responsibility to ask the court to extend the temporary guardianship order or it lapses.
