You need to determine how a court appointed guardian gets paid in your state. Costs relating to the care of a ward will generally need to be approved by the court that appointed the guardian. You should address your questions to an advocate at the court that appointed you or an attorney.

It depends. If your father has part custody of you... then it'd be accepted more than if your legal guardian had full custody over you. My parents have joined custody so when I have arguments with my mom, if I call my dad and he's in the same state, he'll come get me in a heartbeat. But if your father doesn't have joined custody, or even less custody than your legal guardian, he can get in a bit of trouble for taking you if you go there.
