How to end a guardianship?
My son in currently residing with my parents out of state. My mother has removed him from the home because my father is abusive. I am currently trying to file to end the guardianship. I have the papers I need to file. Does anyone know if I can do this without going to the state or does this need to be done in person. Also, if I get a lawyer do I talk to a lawyer here to represent me or one there? My father is trying to irrationally fight me.

Generally speaking, actions involving custody of a child are to be filed in the state in which the child resides. Otherwise, the court does not have jurisdiction over the child to make the determination. So I would speak with an attorney in the other state who cah file the paperwork on your behalf. Good luck.
