What happens if the parents want to end the guardianship?

If a parent is ready to resume care of their minor, they can ask the Court to end the guardianship.  They would file a Revocation of Parental Consent to Guardianship and Petition to Terminate the Guardianship.  Once the request has been submitted to the Court a hearing will be set, at which time a judge will decide whether to end the guardianship.
