You will need to briefly explain why you feel this change in guardianship is necessary. A home study will need to be completed by the State and you may want to hire an attorney for additional representation if this guardianship proposal is being contested.
  
  
• 2). File all of your completed paperwork with the Colorado County Clerk's office in your immediate area.
  
  
• 3). Request at the Colorado County Clerk's Office that a hearing date be scheduled.
  
  
• 4). Attend the hearing during the specified day and time. All parties will need to be present. If the change in guardianship is not consensual, evidence will need to be presented which explains why you feel the change is necessary. You may bring along witnesses to help back up your case.
