The Vermont Petition To Appoint A Custodial Guardian For A Minor is a legal document used to request the appointment of a custodial guardian for a minor. The petition is typically filed in the family division of the superior court of the county in which the minor resides. The petition must be accompanied by a report from the Department of Children and Families stating the need for a guardian and the qualifications of the proposed guardian. There are two types of Vermont Petition To Appoint A Custodial Guardian For A Minor: one for an adult who is willing to assume the responsibility of a custodial guardian, and one for a minor who is unable to choose a guardian themselves. The petition must include information on the minor’s background, the proposed guardian’s qualifications, and the reasons for the request for a guardian. The petition must also include a statement of the minor’s wishes regarding guardianship, if the minor is of an appropriate age and has the capacity to express their wishes. Once the petition is filed, the court will hold a hearing to determine if guardianship is in the best interests of the minor. If the petition is granted, the court will issue an Order of Appointment of Guardianship.
