A 17-year-old has no legal standing to make the change. Only their parents or the court can make the change. The current legal gaurdian would have to petition the court for the change.

yes. A minor who has a legally appointed guardian can arbitrarily leave said guardian's custody the guardian cannot withhold permission for the minor do do so.

Can you share joint custody with a family member?

No. Only parents are granted custody of their children by a court order. You cannot assign custody to a non-parent nor will the court. When a party other than the parent gets "custody" of a child it is done via a guardianship and must be obtained through a court. The person who requests the guardianship is appointed the child's legal guardian, the child is deemed the guardian's ward, and the case will remain under the jurisdiction of the court.

How do you lose guardianship?

A person who has been appointed as a legal guardian can voluntarily relinquish his duty to the ward. That is the word which describes the person the guardian is supposed to be caring for, tending to his property, and other obligations for the welfair of the ward. The court where the guardianship was created is generally a probate court, or a special court for matters which concern children. The court acts with 'orders'. An order is a written instruction from the court. In cases where a guardian is not fullfilling his duties as prescribed by the law of the particular state, the court can revoke the guardianship. Guardianship is what all of the guardian-ward relationship is called. It is controlled by the specific law of the particular state. Because a guardian can legally act only within his instructions from the court, the guardian can be removed from his legal ability to act with the person or property of the ward. The court supervises what the guardian does. But the court generally does not do much of anything unless the questions are brought to the court by written documents presented to the court. For example, if the ward is unhappy with what the guardian is doing with his person or property, the ward has to approach the court for the court to consider the situation; or if the ward wants the guardianship to be ended or a diffierent guardian appointed, the ward or someone with an legally accepted interest in the situation has to approach the court for the court to consider the situation and the desires of the ward. or if a person with a legally accepted interest in the situation has questions about the extent of the order of the court empowering the guardian to act about the property or person of the ward, the matter must be brought to the attention of the court. The court evaluates the complaints and questions and decides if the guardian is acting in the best interests, or reasonable interests of the ward, if the court, after hearing all the information decides that the guarding is not acting in the interest of the ward, the guardian can be removed and replaced, or the guardianship altogether might be done away with because it is no longer needed.
