State law may vary, but in general, minors who are pregnant or have a child retain all the legal rights to said child as does an adult female unless a court rules otherwise.

In most states the age of majority is 18, meaning, yes, the mother has guardianship as well as responsibility. Check the state laws for the appropriate place.

You want to take temp guardianship of a 17 in IL she lives with us until she finishes college Is this possible?

If the legal parents agree, have them sign over temp guardianship of the 17 year old. The parents can at any time change this guardianship (with notice to you via noterized letter). If you take guardianship, you must note that ALL expenses (school, medical...) are YOUR responsibility and no support is expected by legal parents (just how it works).

If a child has lived with one parent for 17 years and then comes to live with the other parent who has legal guardianship?

Well.... The person who has legal guardianship is the person who has LEGAL guardianship. If the mother has custody, no matter where that child moves (untill their 17th or 18th birthdate dependant on the state), the mother will always have custody. The only way to change it is through the courts. * If a custodial order has not been issued by the court that stipulates otherwise, both biological parents have equal custodial rights.
