The parent who applied for guardianship can end it at any time.
A written declaration to the youth welfare office or using the relevant online service[A1] is sufficient.
The assistance ends automatically if the legal requirements are no longer met. This is the case, for example, if:

the child is of age,
the single parent and the child move abroad (residence abroad),
the assistance has fulfilled its purpose, for example paternity has been established.
