How do I get custody / guardianship of a child, or how do I terminate custody / guardianship?
Guardianship is done through Probate Court and is dissolved through the same court unless it is contested by either of the parties. If this occurs, then the issue will come to Juvenile Court in order to dissolve the guardianship or leave it intact. Custody issues are handled through Superior Court unless DFCS is involved.
