Terminating Guardianship Process Steps

Summary

To terminate guardianship, file a petition in the court that granted it, notify all involved parties, and attend a hearing. Since the children are in Michigan, a home study of their current living conditions may be required. Communicate your new address and situation to the court. Consider consulting with a local attorney in Alabama for guidance on the process and any jurisdictional issues.

It sounds like your situation is a bit complex and involves multiple states' jurisdictions. Here are some key points to consider:
- Jurisdiction: Since the court case is in Michigan, it will follow Michigan laws and procedures.
- Home Study: Home studies are typically required to ensure the children’s living environment is safe and suitable. Since you moved, the court might need an updated home study in Alabama.
- Communication: Ensure you communicate your new address and situation clearly to the court and the home study representative.
