The court costs for obtaining a legal guardianship will vary depending on the country, the state and the jurisdiction of the court in which you pursue that arrangement.

Added: In addition to the court costs (if any) do not forget to also factor in the cost of the legal representation, or expert medical testimony, that you may have to use in order to secure the guradianship

Can your mom legally receive guardianship of your 16-year-old girlfriend?

That would be completely up to the court. A person seeking guardianship must file a petition in the state court of jurisdiction (usually probate). The county clerk or court administrator can be contacted for information on the proper filing procedures. After the petition is filed there will be a hearing where all involved parties will be given the right to testify and present supporting evidence. The final decision on guardianship will be made by the presiding judge. All court costs and any other legal fees are the responsibility of the person filing for guardianship. If this is a case of neglect or abuse it should be referred to social services (DFS, CPS). If abuse and/or neglect charges are found valid the minor becomes a "ward of the court" and the judge will appoint a Guardian Ad Litem who will be the minor's legal representative. The court will then accept petitions from those persons applying for guardianship of the minor. Although family relatives are the first choice, any adult that the court finds acceptable can be granted temporary or permanent guardianship. In these type of cases the state assumes financial responsibility court costs and applicable legal fees.

Legal guardianship can only be revoked by the court that awarded the decree or in some states a higher court or it can be relinquished by the guardian(s) through prescribed legal procedure. The rights that biological parents have regarding their children (such as visitation, support, etc.) will be stipulated in the final guardianship order from the court. Courts prefer that parents remain active in the child's life, but if there are no specific terms in the guardianship order for visitation rights and other issues, it is assumed that the guardians can "set the rules".


Can an adult guardianship be challenged?

Yes, an adult guardianship can be challenged. Interested parties, such as family members or friends, may contest the guardianship by filing a petition in court, arguing that the individual does not meet the criteria for guardianship or that the appointed guardian is not acting in the best interest of the individual.

Legal representation is often advisable in such cases to navigate the complexities of guardianship laws.
