Until 2012, the burden of proof to terminate a guardianship of a child was placed upon the parent to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the substitution or supplementation of parental care and supervision was no longer necessary to provide for the child's essential physical and safety and that terminating the guardianship would not adversely impact the child's psychological well-being.
Then, the Supreme Court issued its opinion on In the Matter of Reena D. which implemented a two-tier standard for fit and unfit parents. The above standard still applied in cases where parents had contested a guardianship and the guardianship was granted over their objection. However, parents that consented to a guardianship had an easier path to termination of the guardianship.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness
After going through two of my own attorneys for restraining orders and now a divorce. She has lied and turned my wife into a monster all while not caring about keeping my daughter from me. Stay away keep your money bring it elsewhere. Woman should be reported and not. Lawyer because she’s just a LIAR.

Attorney Crusco was assigned as a GAL after an ex parte for the guardianship of our granddaughter....we were ordered to pay her half of the fee of $1500, $750 was our payment. The Judge told us what paperwork would needed to be provided, we did so in a timely manner, our daughter didn't supply paperwork for months, she should have been held in contempt, but she wasn't. We had to contact her office to find out what was going on as our court date was coming up, she told us that she was changing the court date as she had another obligation,,ok..and when were you going to tell us that, but she said

I had the same exact experience as Rebecca Doe as I would not recommend Kysa Crusco for any sort of representation or you will be extremely disappointed. For someone to actually take the time to file a complaint, you need to know it is "valid" and not just speaking from some sort of loss in a case. You will go in for your initial consultation and Kysa will make you feel as though there is "nothing to worry about" and by hiring her it will be money well spent. However, there is little to no communication as you will need to reach out to her "several times" and as Rebecca stated, you will have to

I can honestly state that I became increasingly disappointed with my interactions with Kysa the longer I retained her as counsel regarding modifying my comparatively straightforward pre-existing parenting agreement.

I felt that the closer one gets to his/her mediation date and the more topics that have yet to be reviewed and discussed, there exists an ever
