Petition for Termination of Guardianship
information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice to these parties. All parties may be served by mail. The Court has reviewed the Court Investigator’s report filed on July 28, 2026, which recommends granting the Petition. The report indicates that the minor and father are currently living with the temporary guardian and that father is working on securing housing. While it is apparent that the temporary guardian is no longer pursuing her Petition, under the circumstances the Court will continue the temporary guardianship until the Petition for Termination of Guardianship can be properly noticed.
This matter is continued to Monday, September 28, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings on the Petition for Appointment of Successor Guardian of the Person and Petition for Termination of Guardianship. The Temporary Guardianship is ORDERED to remain in effect until the continued hearing date. The father is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition for Termination of Guardianship, on the parties identified above.
In the alternative, if the father cannot serve the parties identified, the Court will require a declaration explaining in detail all efforts of the father to locate and serve them and why they cannot be served, to permit the Court to dispense with notice. Warning: Failure to properly effect service or provide adequate basis to dispense with service as to the necessary parties will result in denial of the Petition. Notice is preserved.
