Court entered order removing Respondent, who had no biological relationship to minor, as minor's plenary guardian for cause cause, based on Respondent's refusal to obey court orders and to meet with the GAL and her willingness to substitute her judgment for that of the court. Respondent was not prejudiced by lack of statutory notice or any formal deficiencies in procedure. Respondent was give ample opportunity to rebut contentions that she did not cooperate with GAL. Evidence supports court's removal for good cause, and that Respondent was willing to substitute her own judgment for that of the court. (HUTCHINSON and ZENOFF, concurring.)
