In Illinois, legal guardians manage a ward's finances without personal liability for the ward's debts, as long as they keep their finances separate and avoid mismanagement. Court oversight ensures guardians act responsibly, and seeking legal advice can help them fulfill their duties effectively.

In this article, we examine how courts determine who will be the guardian of a minor in Illinois. In some cases, a minor may need to live with a legal guardian other than their parents. This guardian assumes most of the responsibilities a legal parent has, including providing food and housing. Essentially, a guardian takes care of a child’s needs when a parent is unable to.

In order for a parent to regain guardianship, there must be a substantial change in circumstances and supporting evidence to demonstrate that it is in the child’s best interest to return to the care of the biological parents. For example, if the child was removed from custody of the parents because of a substance abuse problem, the parents can file a Petition to Discharge Guardianship of a Minor to regain primary care of the child if they can prove that their abuse issues have been resolved.
