Private Guardianship Order {CCJP 0660}

CCJP 0660 - PRIVATE GUARDIANSHIP ORDER. This form is used in the Cook County Circuit Court’s Child Protection Division to transfer guardianship of a minor from the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to a private individual. This order is issued after the court finds that the child is living in a stable home environment and that continued court oversight is no longer necessary for the child’s well-being. The order terminates the court’s prior wardship under the Juvenile Court Act and ends DCFS's legal guardianship. It then establishes private guardianship under the Probate Act of 1975, which remains in effect until the child turns 18. The order also outlines visitation rights, requiring the private guardian to allow reasonable, typically unsupervised, visits from the child’s biological parents, unless safety concerns justify otherwise. It prohibits the private guardian from altering custody conditions without court approval and affirms that the court maintains jurisdiction to modify or enforce the terms of the guardianship as needed. www.FormsWorkflow.com
