Supplemental Petition To Reinstate Wardship Packet {CCJP 0201}

CCJP 0201 - PARENT’S PRO SE SUPPLEMENTAL PETITION TO REINSTATE WARDSHIP. This form is used by a parent in Cook County, Illinois, who wishes to reopen a closed juvenile court case and request that their child or children be returned to their custody. It applies specifically to situations where the case was closed after a private individual—not DCFS—was appointed as the child’s legal guardian. The petition allows the parent, acting without an attorney (pro se), to formally ask the court to reinstate wardship under 705 ILCS 405/2-33 and terminate the private guardianship so that the parent can regain full care, custody, and control of the child. The process requires completing two documents: the supplemental petition and a notice of motion. The parent must gather and provide details about the original guardianship, the child's history in court, efforts made to address the issues that led to removal, and their ongoing relationship with the child. The petition also includes steps for notifying all parties involved, such as DCFS, the Public Guardian, the State’s Attorney, and the private guardian. After filing, the parent must serve copies of the documents, complete a certificate of service, and appear in court for a hearing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
