Many family law matters involve complex and valuable legal rights which cannot adequately be protected without the assistance
of an attorney. The information provided is basic, general information that does not fit all situations. It is the duty of each self-
represented individual to know what rules of court and law apply. For more information on the law, these forms, and free
classes, visit www.familylawselfhelpcenter.org or the Family Law Self Help Center at 601 N. Pecos Road.
The Protected Minor, their Attorney, the Guardian, and the Relatives Have to
Be Notified: After you file the papers, you will have to send a copy to the
child (if age 14 or older), their attorney, the guardian, and the same relatives
who were served with the original guardianship papers. See Step 3 for more
information.
Use black ink and write clearly.
Petition to Terminate Guardianship
This form tells the Court why you are asking to terminate the guardianship.
You must explain in detail why the guardianship is no longer needed. If you
are a parent trying to terminate a guardianship over your child, make sure
you explain how you will be able to take care of the child yourself. This
information is required for the judge to consider returning the child to you!
Citation to Appear and Show Cause
This form sets a court date for your request to terminate the guardianship. Leave
the hearing date lines blank – the clerk will fill in a date when you file the papers.
You must provide a final accounting before the guardianship can be terminated.
This form is not included in this packet – ask a staff member for the form if
you need one:
Final Accounting
This form provides your final accounting to the Court. You will have to
