How do you revoke guardianship what rights do parents have if they gave guardianship to the grandparents?
Legal guardianship can only be revoked by the court that awarded the decree or in some states a higher court or it can be relinquished by the guardian(s) through prescribed legal procedure. The rights that biological parents have regarding their children (such as visitation, support, etc.) will be stipulated in the final guardianship order from the court. Courts prefer that parents remain active in the child's life, but if there are no specific terms in the guardianship order for visitation rights and other issues, it is assumed that the guardians can "set the rules".

If the legal parents agree, have them sign over temp guardianship of the 17 year old. The parents can at any time change this guardianship (with notice to you via noterized letter). If you take guardianship, you must note that ALL expenses (school, medical...) are YOUR responsibility and no support is expected by legal parents (just how it works).

Is a guardianship legal if biological parents were not served with petition for guardianship?
Guardianship is legal when the judge says it is. An attempt must be made to serve the biological parents but if service is not possible for whatever reason an argument can be made to the judge to grant guardianship without it.Additional: If the child was removed from the custody of the biological parents by court order due to some shortcoming or failing of the parents to 'nurture and protect' the child, and custody was awarded to a foster family, you would.should have been issued a court order to that effect. . . IF you could have been found. If the state Dept. of Children and Family Services (or whatever they call it in your state) initiated the petition for the safety of the child, you need not have been served with any formal legal papers prior to them taking this action.
Can parents lose custody if both are on prescription narcotics and do not keep the children with them?
Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.
