The person seeking guardianship must petition the court with reason and evidentiary documents as to why guardianship is necessary and why they are qualified to be appointed the legal guardian of the minor in question. Both biological parents must voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and agree to the guardianship or the court must terminate parental rights of both or of the parent who does not wish to give up his or her rights to their child.
