Provides that upon the filing of a petition by a minor's living, adoptive, or adjudicated parent whose parental rights have not been terminated, the court shall discharge the guardian and terminate the guardianship if the parent establishes, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a material change in the circumstances of the minor or the parent has occurred since the guardian's appointment unless the guardian establishes, by clear and convincing evidence, that termination of the guardianship would not be in the best interests of the minor.
