How can a 17 yr old minor get child support in their name if the legal guardian is not supporting them with their money?

The parent who pay child support to your legal guardian have to go to court and modify the child support order so the money goes to you. This is usually only done when the minor goes to college etc but if the minor still lives at home the money goes to the parent/legal guardian to pay for electricity, rent, food, etc.


Can a 16-year-old move out on her own if her mother says it's ok although she lives with her guardian?

No, if there is a court appointed guardian, that person has legal precedence over a parent. The guardian has the legal right to make decisions on the part of said minor w/o input from either biological parent. Even if the guardian agreed to the minor leaving the residence, it would be necessary to obtain the permission of the court that granted the guardianship.

If two adoptive parents die who gets legal rights to a child?

Parents of minor children should always have a will that names a guardian for their children. The guardianship must be approved by the court and the court will appoint the named guardian unless there are reasonable objections to that appointment. If no guardian was named in a will a family member willing to take the responsibility can petition to be appointed the guardian.
